Every week with a reduced number of flights weakens the shaky justification for a 3rd Runway at Heathrow. The entire air travel business, which can never be Carbon Neutral needs to reassess its likelihood of survival based upon much reduced passenger numbers for several years.

You’d hope so, yeah. But business!!!!!! Growth!!!!!!!

Air travel for leisure seems so irrelevant right now, and with uptake of Zoom etc alot of flights for business meetings now must have questionable justification.
The industry is floundering and that plea from the Heathrow boss is one of desparation.
The number of jobs at stake in and linked to the aviation industry is huge, which will have big impacts as a result.

As someone who lives in south London under the flight path it's an absolute joy not having planes every minute coming in for landing. I'm about 15miles away too so pity the poor folk who are even closer

Agreed. A few months ago, a group of us up in Leeds formed to try & reject the proposed Leeds Bradford Airport expansion (Group for Action on LBA) with a planned more than doubling of flights.
Planning application is expected to go in soon & the business case is pretty much demolished already.

Seriously, who should be flying right now anyway? What part of “essential travel only” doesn’t he understand?
