‘Smooth’ Easter rush at Heathrow Airport despite strike action
London Heathrow Airport welcomed more than 6.2 million passengers in March, up by one million from February.
It said March 31 was among its busiest days since 2019, even though airport strikes by security staff kicked off that day.
The airport said it had prepared well with replacement staff to keep operations running smoothly.
It handled 221,000 passengers on March 31.
“I am very proud of the way that colleagues have pulled together to ensure passengers got away smoothly,” CEO John Holland-Kaye said.
“Our security team has done a brilliant job, supported by our entire management team.”
Heathrow Airport management says it had ‘listened to colleagues’ and proposed changes ‘they have asked for.’
