The United Kingdom’s Heathrow airport reported a ?2.9 billion loss since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement on Monday, the airport said that the number of people who travelled through its terminals in the first six months of 2021 matches the number that would have been surpassed in only 18 days of 2019 traffic.
Heathrow’s revenue, the statement indicated, dropped from ?712 million in the first six months of 2020 to ?348 million in the opening half of this year. Meanwhile, pre-tax loss widened by 18 per cent to a little over ?1 billion.
