Heathrow’s debacle, unable to cope with the rebound in air traffic, is not improving.
Capacity limit of 100,000 passengers per day extended until October 29. It’s probably not over if we judge by British Airways’ recent decision to cut 10,000 flights between October 31 and April 1, or 8% of its winter supply. The group therefore prefers to take the lead rather than canceling at the last minute under pressure from the airport. These deletions, especially of short-haul flights, should not have too much financial or operational impact. At Heathrow, the shortage of unskilled labor continues. And many observers see it as one of the consequences of Brexit and the strict migration policy now observed by the British government.
