Gatwick to ditch summer passenger cap as airport bounces back from Covid chaos

Summer capacity restrictions at Gatwick Airport will not be continued beyond this month as it resumes normal operations. The announcement is in stark contrast to Heathrow, which confirmed the extension of its current daily cap on passenger numbers to the end of the summer schedule on October 29.

Heathrow has yet to decide whether to extend the cap through the winter. However, British Airways will axe an additional 10,000 flights from its schedule to and from Heathrow this winter.

The BA services will be cut between the end of October and late March when the summer 2023 schedule will commence.
