LONDON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - The boss of Britain's biggest
airport Heathrow said that new rules requiring people arriving
in England to present a negative COVID-19 test result must only
be temporary and the government must plan for how to end it.
"It can only be a temporary measure," Heathrow Chief
Executive John Holland-Kaye told BBC Radio on Friday.
"We need to have a roadmap for how we get out of this
because aviation is vital to us as a small island trading
nation."
He also said that vaccination programmes in Britain and
other countries gave him hope for a travel recovery later this
year.
"We'll see flights starting to come back and passenger
numbers building up through the summer and then into the
autumn," he said.
