Heathrow calls for the government to scrap the new 10 charge for overseas travellers using UK airports for connecting flights, emphasizing the competitive disadvantage it poses compared to European rivals.
The impact of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) on transit passengers is evident, with 19,000 fewer passengers from Qatar passing through Heathrow, affecting vital long-haul routes important to the UK's economy.
Heathrow's CEO highlights the necessity of exempting airside transit passengers from the ETA scheme to prevent diverting passengers to other hubs, ultimately safeguarding the UK's economic interests and connectivity.
