<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Its North America and Africa markets saw the biggest declines, according to Heathrow. Across all destinations, the number of flights was down 82% as demand for travel remained low due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<blockquote><p>We need to go further to protect jobs and kick-start the economy</p></blockquote>
<p>Demand for inbound travel was “immediately” hit when the Government’s quarantine policy came into force on June 8. Total passenger numbers for the first half of the year were 60% down on the same period in 2019.</p>
<p>Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye said: “Travel corridors were a great first step and now we need to go further to protect jobs and kick-start the economy, by allowing healthy passengers to travel freely between the UK and the rest of the world.</p>
<p>“We’re ready to pilot a testing system on arrival for passengers from ‘red’ countries as an alternative to quarantine, but even better would be to test passengers before they get on a plane.</p>
<p>“This requires a common international standard for testing, which the UK Government could take a global lead in setting up.”</p>
