Heathrow ending passenger cap this month
Heathrow Airport will lift the temporary passenger cap later this month.
The cap runs until October 29, and won’t be extended again.
The cap places a limit of 100,000 departing passengers per day, which was originally to last until 11 September but was extended into October.
“Our focus has always been on removing the cap as quickly as possible — but we will only do so if we are confident that adding in more passengers will not erode the service levels that the cap has secured,” Heathrow said.
Heathrow has struggled to meet demand as the number of travellers surged after Covid curbs were dropped.
It caused major disruption to flights and baggage handling.
“At Heathrow, we have seen 40 years of passenger growth in just four months,” Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said said the cap brought in the summer.
An airport spokesperson said the cap has helped in reducing last-minute cancellations and improved baggage handling.
