Britain: Heathrow Airport has the highest number of passengers since the pandemic began

The number of passengers at London Heathrow Airport returned to its highest level since the pandemic began in March, thanks to those traveling abroad for leisure and the lifting of all COVID restrictions.

Heathrow said in a statement today that the number of incoming travelers traveling for leisure and business purposes remained weak, however, due to high levels of coronavirus rates in the country and testing requirements for travelers leaving the country. .

“It’s fantastic to see the airport come back to life after two years,” said CEO John Holland-Kay, after a very weak one, according to Heathrow, in January and February.

Heathrow said it was unclear whether the current increase in demand for leisure travel was sustainable due to concerns about possible new variants of the coronavirus, high fuel prices, low economic growth and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
