Show Notes
Heathrow airport today announced a 100,000-a-day passenger capacity until September to try and deal with staff shortages in baggage and front-desk services that has been bedevilling the airline industry as we've all returned to flying with gusto. It sounds like a worrisome development, but I argue the case that no one should really be affected by the announcement, with safeguards and compensation hopefully covering all who are looking to travel through Heathrow this summer.
