All the signals of a strong travel rebound were there, and for months, Emirates has been publicly vocal about the matter.

LHR chose not to act, not to plan, not to invest. Now faced with an “airmageddon” situation due to their incompetence and non-action, they are pushing the entire burden – of costs and the scramble to sort the mess - to airlines and travellers"
