It’s not only airlines who are struggling to cope with the surge in demand for air travel. Heathrow is now asking carriers to stop selling tickets as it is unable to provide a safe service to more than 100,000 outgoing passengers a day. The airport has set this as a limit until September 11, despite the current government amnesty on airport slots.
|
"Even despite the amnesty, daily departing seats over the summer will average 104,000 -- giving a daily excess of 4,000 seats. On average only about 1,500 of these 4,000 daily seats have currently been sold to passengers, and so we are asking our airline partners to stop selling summer tickets to limit the impact on passengers," said Heathrow CEO John Holland Kaye.
|
Willie Walsh, the Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) stated: "Airlines have been predicting stronger traffic than Heathrow has been predicting ... they clearly got it completely wrong," adding: "To tell airlines to stop selling -- what a ridiculous thing for an airport to say to an airline." Walsh, the former CEO of British Airways owner IAG, also commented that "Heathrow are trying to maximise the profitability that they get from the airport at the expense of airlines.”

Norwegian and Widerøe have signed a letter of intent that will see the two airlines closely cooperate in a number of areas in the future. This means, among other initiatives, the two companies will cooperate on tickets sales, enabling passengers to seamlessly travel the entire route network of both airlines under an interline agreement.
|
The objectives of the agreement will provide a better service to passengers and create synergies and operational efficiencies. Norway is an extremely important market for both companies. Widerøe flies throughout the regional network in Norway while Norwegian is a major player in the main route network. A large proportion of passengers in Norway depend on both Norwegian and Widerøe to reach their destination.
|
Norwegian’s CEO, Geir Karlsen said: ‘I am very pleased with the agreement we have entered into with Widerøe today. Our goal for this collaboration is to benefit both companies’ passengers and our employees. In many ways, this is an historic agreement bringing two Norwegian airlines together. A lot of detail is still being worked on but it’s clear from the past months’ discussions with Widerøe that there are many areas we both have a common interest to collaborate on’.
