London鈥檚 Heathrow Airport said on Monday it will extend the cap on flight departures to Oct. 29 as it looks to support more 鈥渞eliable and resilient鈥� passenger journeys.
Heathrow, which capped the number of departures in July to cope with disruptions, said that airport continues to see sustained operational improvements and that the cap could be lifted earlier if resource levels improved.
鈥淪ince the cap was introduced, passenger journeys have improved with fewer last-minute cancellations, better punctuality and shorter wait times for bags,鈥� Heathrow said in a statement.
