Heathrow baggage issues, cancellations and delays - the soaring numbers

After imposing a daily passenger cap departing from its terminals, the kindest thing to say about Heathrow Airport right now is that it is in crisis mode.

Flights are being cancelled with startling regularity, delays are the norm and baggage piles are mounting.

AIRLINES

The pandemonium is somewhat ironic given it has been caused by the travel resurgence airport chiefs spent most of the last two and a half years dreaming of.

Their wish granted, passenger numbers in June this year reached 5,990,385, a level comparable to that seen before March 2019.

The Nuseirat refugee camp is located in the middle of the Gaza Strip, deep inside Palestinian territory.
