UK busiest airport, London Heathrow is set for a much-needed boost as Chrismas draws closer. The airport is reminding passengers of COVID-19 protocols ahead of Christmas break.
Measures come with a stark explanation from the airport stating that passengers' experience will come secondary to safety measures to ensure swift and safe getaways.
According to the airport, only those travelling will be allowed access to terminals and so welcoming and farewell parties are being asked to either stay in their cars or at home. This strict policy will ensure that an unnecessary number of people are not waiting in terminals, as the airport focuses on getting passengers away on much-needed breaks.
Those preparing to travel are being asked to wrap up warm as they may be asked to wait outside terminals if congestion starts to build. Managed areas outside the terminals, which will be undercover, are being prepared, alongside additional marshals who will be on hand to provide assistance. It also emphasized that wearing of face coverings is mandatory at the airport, as social distancing may not be possible.
Passengers travelling from Heathrow are also reminded to arrive at the airport two hours ahead of a short-haul flight, and three hours for the long haul. Additional time may not be necessary as it will increase unnecessary dwell time and numbers at the airport.
Passengers are also reminded to make use of hand sanitizers, which are made available for them at every stage of their journey.
