preview

ocial distancing at airports would lead to 1km-long queues for each jumbo jet, Heathrow’s chief executive has claimed.John Holland-Kaye has warned that the UK’s major international airports do not have enough space for social distancing to be a solution for safe travel post-lockdown.He called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to quickly find a “common international standard” of alternative solutions that could be ready for the summer.He suggested mandatory health checks for passengers, increased levels of hygiene and compulsory facemasks as options to open airports as soon as possible and avoid “massive job losses in our sector... (and) many other sectors that depend on us”.Mr Holland-Kaye wrote in The Daily Telegraph: “Forget social distancing – it won’t work in aviation or any other form of public transport, and the problem is not the plane, it is the lack of space in the airport.“Just one jumbo jet would require a queue a kilometre long.”He added: “The Prime Minister has talked about restarting the engines of the British economy. We are ready to play our part, but first we need his help to restart the engines of the British aviation fleet,” he wrote.The suggestions come days after He added that social distancing on planes would reduce capacities by more than 50per cent and mean “prices would shoot up”.PA Media contributed to this articleSign up for exclusive newsletters, comment on stories, enter competitions and attend events.ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT?

The Evening Standard (also the London Evening Standard) is a local, Russian-owned free daily newspaper, published Monday to Friday in tabloid format in London. Since 2009 it has been owned by Russian businessman Alexander Lebedev. It is the dominant local/regional evening paper for London and the surrounding area, with coverage of national and international news and City of London finance. Its current editor is former UK Conservative Member of Parliament and Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. In October 2009, the paper ended a 180-year history of paid circulation and became a free newspaper, doubling its circulation as part of a change in its business plan.
