Heathrow has confirmed its passenger capacity cap will remain beyond the summer season and through October half-term.

Budget-friendly travel – especially in the UK's favourite holiday destination, Spain – is set to be most popular

In a statement on Monday (15 August), the airport said after consultation with airlines its current limitation of 100,000 daily departing passengers would run until 29 October.

Last week, Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye said the controversial cap introduced in July was delivering "better, more reliable journeys".
