UK. In a strong signal of recovery for UK aviation, Heathrow Airport served nearly six million passengers in June, over +500% more than in the same month last year. Heathrow said that the “unprecedented growth over the last four months matches what took place over the last 40 years”.
The airport company noted that rebuilding capacity quickly “is very challenging after the significant reductions in resource across the entire aviation supply chain”. It added: “Arrivals punctuality is very low as a result of delays at other airports and airspace congestion across Europe and this has compounded the challenge of resource constraints for the airport, airlines, ground handlers and government agencies.”
