☆ Frontier Airlines CEO urges crackdown of 'rampant abuse' of airport wheelchair service
  + stars: | 2024-05-23 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The 1986 Air Carrier Access Act requires airlines to provide a wheelchair to passengers with disabilities at the airport. The problem: Many travelers are faking it, Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle says. There are people using wheelchair assistance who don't need it at all," Biffle said at a Wings Club luncheon on Thursday in New York. Biffle wasn't talking about travelers' personal wheelchairs but rather the service airlines provide when travelers arrive at the airport. Biffle isn't the only executive to complain about travelers falsely claiming they need a wheelchair at the airport.

  + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Benjamin Katz | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
John Holland-Kaye has served in the post for nine years. LONDON—London Heathrow Airport said its longtime chief executive, John Holland-Kaye , would step down this year after helming the hub during one of the most turbulent summers in its history. The rapid recovery in passenger numbers as the Covid-19 pandemic eased resulted in disruption across the aviation industry last year, though Heathrow appeared to suffer more than most. A lack of staff contributed to long lines through security, overwhelmed check-in counters, mounds of lost baggage and persistent flight delays and cancellations.

He said that financiers and energy suppliers should invest in SAF production, including in emerging markets. The wealthy people in this room and wealthy nations should be funding the energy transition in aviation to help support developing countries,” he added. Holland-Kaye said that companies can play a major role accelerating the adoption of SAF because business travel accounts for about 30% of fuel used in aviation. In 2021, the industry pledged to replaced 10% of global jet fuel supply with SAF by 2030. Clean energy investments need a major boost if the world is to meet its climate goals, according to Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency.

☆ Heathrow Airport warns it will be 'a number of years' before demand returns to pre-pandemic levels
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Hannah Ward-Glenton | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
The biggest airport in Europe by passenger numbers, London's Heathrow, is not expecting to come into profit this financial year. Heathrow Airport reported on Wednesday a nine-month loss of £442 million ($512 million) and warned that it will be "a number of years" before demand returns to pre-pandemic levels. The airport puts lower demand down to Russia's war in Ukraine, Covid-19 and "a global economic crisis," but anticipates passenger numbers could hit 2019 levels during peak times such as the lead-up to Christmas. Revenue increased threefold compared to 2021, up to £2.1 billion, but was hampered slightly by the airport's self-imposed daily passenger cap of 100,000 departures. The passenger cap will be lifted on Oct. 30 after being put in place to tackle travel chaos as staff shortages caused luggage delays and flight cancellations.

REUTERS/Luke MacGregor/File PhotoLONDON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Britain's biggest airport Heathrow reported a nine-month loss of 442 million pounds ($507 million) and warned it was unlikely to return to pre-pandemic demand for several years. "Headwinds of a global economic crisis, war in Ukraine and the impact of COVID-19 mean we are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic demand for a number of years, except at peak times," it said on Wednesday. Heathrow said to be able to meet demand at peak times businesses across the airport needed to recruit and train up to 25,000 security cleared people. "We...are working with airlines and their ground handlers to get back to full capacity at peak times as soon as possible," said CEO John Holland-Kaye.
☆ Europe's top airport braces for potential 'busiest period' in more than 2 years, just months after summer's travel chaos
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Stephen Jones | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Heathrow is bracing for what could be its busiest period in more than two years this winter. The airport is consulting with airlines about managing demand during peak travel times. London's Heathrow airport was the scene of mass delays, flight cancellations, and long queues this summer. Like many other travel hubs globally it battled with labor shortages at a time when demand for travel peaked. A "seat factor cap" that limits capacity on the busiest travel days is one of the options being considered, The Telegraph reported on Tuesday.

  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Hannah Ward-Glenton | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
The biggest airport in Europe by passenger numbers, London's Heathrow, is not expecting to come into profit this financial year. LONDON — Europe's busiest airport, London Heathrow, gave a downbeat assessment of the industry on Tuesday, saying the "demand outlook remains uncertain" as economic turbulence, a new wave of Covid-19 and the escalating crisis in Ukraine could cause disruption to the barely-recovered aviation sector. Heathrow said Tuesday that it would finally be lifting that daily passenger cap at the end of October. Almost 5.8 million passengers traveled through the airport in September, which is 15% below 2019 levels. Holland-Kaye said in a July press release that the aviation sector had been "deeply scarred" by Covid.
