Heathrow Airport: Tourists
(asked on 19th April 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of Heathrow Airport's decision to not introduce a travel cap for travellers during Christmas 2022 on the level of tourists entering the UK.
This question was answered on 26th April 2023
Heathrow airport had a successful Christmas 2022. According to CAA Airport Data, Heathrow handled just under 6 million passengers throughout the month of December 2022, approximately 89% of the number of passengers in December 2019. Decisions on passenger capacity are the responsibility of airports and so in this case is a decision for Heathrow Airport Limited.
