		</div><p>Heathrow Airport has insisted passengers can “book with confidence” as it prepares for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>Chief executive John Holland-Kaye said it is “four or five months since we started switching on to no deal” and businesses must “plan for a worst case in this kind of situation”.</p>
<p>He told the Press Association: “We have a good contingency plan. The Government has worked well with the EU to make sure planes will fly, so passengers can book with confidence.</p>
<p>“We’ve been making sure that we can keep the airport running smoothly.”</p>
<blockquote><p>We have a really good plan</p></blockquote>
<p>Heathrow has been stockpiling supplies of items it needs to ensure passengers can continue to move through the airport.</p>
<p>“Anything from engineering parts to keep the baggage systems running to the rubber gloves that security officers wear to keep them safe while they’re patting you down,” Mr Holland-Kaye said.</p>
<p>“We have a really good plan there.”</p>
<p>The airport is also preparing for an increase in cargo amid growing concern there could be long queues at sea ports due to increased checks.</p>
<p>Mr Holland-Kaye said: “If there is a change in cargo patterns – for example, planes from Europe coming in with more cargo in the event that the sea ports are busy or the tunnel is busy – then we can accommodate that.”</p>
<p>Some 80.1 million passengers used Heathrow in 2018, up 2.7% on the previous year</p>
<p>The airport says the increase was due to planes operating with fewer empty seats, rather than a 0.4% increase in flights to 472,744.</p>
