Heathrow calls for significant expansion of "green" countries
and a list of countries expected to be open for summer holidays
-- Heathrow lost 6.2 million passengers in April, down 92.1%,
compared to pre-pandemic 2019 figures, following over a year of
restrictions on non-essential travel.
-- Whilst we welcome the lifting of the travel ban from 17(th)
May, the green list is overly cautious, given the other controls in
place on passengers travelling from low risk countries. The next
review in 3 weeks' time should bring a significant expansion to the
list of "green" countries, including the United States, to increase
trade, reunite friends and families with their loved ones.
Government should help people plan ahead by publishing a list of
countries expected to be on the green list for the summer holidays
so that passengers are not faced with high prices for last minute
bookings.
-- The rapid progress on vaccination and increased confidence in
its effectiveness against variants of concern should allow a
significant simplification of the "traffic light" system at the end
of June, including allowing fully vaccinated people to travel
without restrictions.
-- We welcome government plans to automate border checks, but
until they have been implemented, Ministers should ensure that
every desk is staffed at peak times to avoid unacceptable queue
times in immigration.
-- Fewer passenger flights are severely impacting the UK's
supply chain and British exporters, with only 116,000 metric tonnes
of cargo travelled through Heathrow last month, compared to over
132,000 in April 2019, down 12%. Reopening critical trading routes
such as the United States will enable exporters to reconnect with
key global networks and unlock billions of pounds worth of trade
and exports.
Heathrow CEO, John Holland-Kaye, said: "The Government's green
list is very welcome, but they need to expand it massively in the
next few weeks to include other low risk markets such as the United
States, and remove the need for fully vaccinated passengers to take
two expensive PCR tests. Border Force's claims that "long queues in
immigration are inevitable" smack of complacency - they are
completely avoidable if Ministers ensure that all desks are staffed
at peak times."
