Heathrow Airport says no passenger cap at Christmas
Heathrow Airport has stated it will not re-introduce a cap on passenger numbers around Christmas. The airport previously said it was working with airlines to agree a targeted way of "Aligning supply and demand" on some peak days before Christmas. Airlines UK said any mechanism must be justified, while Virgin Atlantic said it was ready to deliver a full winter schedule and urged the airport to avoid passenger limits during Christmas "That would ruin customer plans". Heathrow said it had seen a bigger increase in passenger numbers this year than any other airport in Europe. The UK's aviation regulator is soon expected to make its final decision on how much Heathrow can charge airlines per passenger from January, for the cost of operating terminals, runways, baggage systems and security - something which has become a bone of contention with airlines.
