International rivals overtaking Heathrow is an early warning of
Britain's economy falling behind
-- August passenger demand down 81.5% compared to previous year,
with 1.4m people travelling via Heathrow - less than a fifth of
what is usually seen in the summer getaway.
-- Long haul markets, which are critical for UK exporters and a
main source of inbound tourism, students and investment remain
closed by Government's 14-day quarantine policy.
-- North American passenger numbers are down by more than 95% compared to last year.
-- Heathrow cargo down 34.2% (to 88 metric tonnes) compared with
last year, with more businesses struggling to get their products to
markets as Government restrictions have severed air links. This
decrease is despite more dedicated cargo flights coming into the
airport this August - 1,923 - than last year - 218.
-- More than 30 airports are already using testing as a safe
alternative to 14-day quarantine and getting their economies moving
- Frankfurt airport has already overtaken Heathrow, an early
warning that Britain's economy will fall behind if we don't protect
our global trading network.
-- Heathrow has now trialled three rapid point of care testing
solutions and has a facility for testing passengers on arrival. The
airport is ready to go on testing and waiting on Government to make
a decision.
-- Heathrow urges the Government to introduce testing as an
alternative to 14-day quarantine to protect millions of jobs across
the UK and to kickstart the economic recovery. A robust testing
regime should form part of a suite of measures as no one action in
the fight against Covid-19 can be seen as a silver bullet.
John Holland-Kaye, Heathrow Chief Executive said:
"Britain's economic recovery is falling behind. Heathrow's
traffic figures for August demonstrate the extent to which
quarantine is strangling the economy, cutting British businesses
off from their international markets and blocking international
students, tourists and investors from coming here to spend money.
The Government has announced it is looking at the options for
reducing quarantine for passengers who test negative for Covid-19 -
but Ministers urgently need to turn words into action. Every day of
further Government delay costs British jobs and livelihoods."
