While the airport said it was “feeling a sense of excitement” about catering for more passengers and flights, it wanted the government to do more in lifting the remaining restrictions.

Karen Smart, the airport’s managing director, said: “Looking ahead, as we continue to recover, we can still go further, and so in the new year we’ll be calling on the government to further simplify the travel system.”
