Airport reached 79% of pre-pandemic levels in May"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>London&#8217;s <strong>Heathrow airport <\/strong>announced Monday that passenger numbers in May reached 79% of pre-pandemic levels, with 5.3 million travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That figure is still around a fifth below the total for that month in 2019, EFE reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am immensely proud of the way my team has worked with airlines and other partners to ensure that passengers were able to depart during the Jubilee vacations (earlier this month),&#8221; said the airfield&#8217;s CEO, John Holland-Kaye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/06\/u-s-eliminates-covid-test-requirement-to-enter-country.html\">U.S. eliminates COVID test requirement to enter the country.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The executive noted that &#8220;good progress&#8221; continues to be &#8220;made&#8221; according to his plans to &#8220;ramp up capacity&#8221; at the airfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are working closely with airlines and the government to maintain a balance in supply and demand as we grow so that passengers can travel through Heathrwo this summer safely,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the airport felt that &#8220;recent criticism of service levels from the industry makes it clear that its proposal to increase airline fees to employ the airport until 2027 is &#8220;the right thing to do for consumers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airfield&#8217;s Terminal 4, which has been closed due to the coronavirus crisis, is expected to reopen this Tuesday, ahead of the summer season, and be used by 30 airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
