John Holland-Kaye, Heathrow’s chief executive, called for prime minister Boris Johnson to include a “flight plan” for the safe reopening of UK borders as part of Johnson’s promised road map out of the pandemic crisis, which is due to be unveiled on 22 February.
Holland-Kaye, speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, added: “Personally I’m confident that there will be a summer – that we can save our summer – because as we see the vaccine being rolled out in the UK and incident levels coming down, we will start to get our life back to something like normal domestically.
"Then people will say, ‘Why can’t I go on holiday abroad if it’s safe to go to those countries?’."
