London’s Heathrow blamed the UK government for July traffic figures that show scant evidence of a recovery in demand at what’s normally Europe’s busiest travel hub.
The imposition of a 14-day quarantine for people arriving from countries with high Covid-19 infection rates means Britain is effectively cut off from markets including the US, Canada and Singapore, Heathrow said in a release.
CEO John Holland-Kaye said the quarantine policy “continues to strangle the UK economy,†with tens of thousands of jobs being lost. He repeated calls for the government to adopt coronavirus testing at the airport to free up travel while guarding against a new wave of the pandemic.
