On the first day of a strike by security staff at Heathrow Terminal 5, the airport boss is urging passengers: “Just travel as normal.”

John Holland-Kaye, chief executive of the UK’s busiest airport, told The Independent: “The airport is entirely as normal. We’re in Terminal 5, where the security officers are on strike, but there’s not a queue to be seen.
