Britain’s Heathrow Airport said that passenger numbers jumped in July as the government eased travel restrictions and a recovery was underway.<\/p>\n

The airport, however, warned that overall numbers were still down 80% compared to pre-pandemic levels as many restrictions remain in place.<\/p>\n

Heathrow said that in July over 1.5 million travellers passed through the airport, making it the busiest month since March 2020, just before COVID-19 lockdowns began in Europe and travel was essentially stopped.<\/p>\n

The airport, the busiest in Britain, and before COVID-19 the busiest in Europe, said that the government needed to do more to help travel return to even close to 2019 levels.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Heathrow Airport<\/h2>\n

Along with other airlines like British Airways, Heathrow have criticised Britain for not easing travel restrictions quickly enough despite its fast vaccine roll-out, and for complicated rules which continue to include expensive coronavirus tests.<\/p>\n

Airlines want a reduction to the cost of testing and the addition of more countries added to the list of low risk countries.<\/p>\n

The airport also called on Britain to reach an agreement with the United States<\/a> to allow Britons to travel to the U.S.<\/p>\n

Last month, the government allowed fully vaccinated Britons to travel to medium risk countries without needing to quarantine on return. The decision cased passenger numbers to increase by 74% compared to July last year.<\/p>\n

Travel outlook<\/h2>\n

Britain has since early August opened its borders to fully-vaccinated people from the U.S. and European Union.<\/p>\n

Heathrow also said that U.S. carrier JetBlue was due to start flying between London and New York later this week, in a sign of growing confidence in travel.<\/p>\n

Heathrow\u2019s chief operating officer, Emma Gilthorpe, said: \u201cFinally, some blue skies are on the horizon, as travel and trade routes slowly reopen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe job though is far from complete. Government must now capitalise on the vaccine dividend and seize the opportunity to replace expensive PCR tests with more affordable lateral flow tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will ensure travel remains attainable for hardworking Brits, desperate for well-earned getaways and keen to reunite with loved ones before the summer travel window closes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
