London\u2019s Heathrow is no longer Europe\u2019s busiest airport, ceding its long-held crown to Paris during the pandemic and blaming government inaction for its passenger numbers plunging even more than rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heathrow said Paris Charles de Gaulle had overtaken it as Europe\u2019s busiest airport, dealing a blow to Britain\u2019s global trade ambitions as the country\u2019s current relationship with the European Union is due to end in two-months time, reported Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport criticised the UK government for being slow to introduce an airport testing regime to replace 14-day quarantine rules, and said the delays were causing additional harm to the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEO John Holland-Kaye said Heathrow\u2019s slide down the rankings — Amsterdam and Frankfurt could also overtake it based on passenger numbers — should spur the government into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope the government will realise that if we sit on our hands then Britain will lose many of the things we take for granted like having the best connected airports in the world,\u201d he said in a telephone interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passenger numbers at Heathrow have plunged, down 84% in the three months ended September, pushing it to a 1.5 billion pound loss over the first nine months of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
