Emirates has agreed to cap further sales on its flights out of Heathrow until mid-August to assist the airport in its "resource ramp-up".

An agreement to help the airport "remediate the situation" has been met

It comes after the airline initially refused the airport’s demands to cut capacity, describing the request as "unreasonable and unacceptable".

However, following a meeting between Emirates president Sir Tim Clark and Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye, the two came to an agreement to help the airport "remediate the situation".
