Chief executive John Holland-Kaye on Monday (11 July) said the airport was now poised to review schedule changes following the government’s slot amnesty, stressing the airport could ask carriers "to take further action" if it feels their schedules risk exceeding the capacity it can withstand.
Last month, Heathrow asked airlines to remove 30 flights from the 30 June schedule. "We are expecting higher passenger numbers in today’s morning peak than the airport currently has capacity to serve," it said in a statement.
