Good morning.
There could be even more misery for British tourists, as Heathrow warned it could tell airlines to reduce more flights.
The airport said it will review recent schedule changes and ask carriers to take further action if necessary.
He arrived when Heathrow apologized for the latest chaotic scenes at the travel center, saying: “Despite our best efforts, there have been periods in recent weeks, in which service levels have not been acceptable, with long times of queue, delays for passengers with reduced mobility, Suitcases do not travel with passengers or arrive late, and we want to apologize to passengers who have been affected by this. “
Heathrow said nearly 6 million passengers passed through the airport in June, bringing the total for the first six months of the year to 25 million. That equates to 40 years of passenger growth in just four months.
