Heathrow CEO, John Holland-Kaye, said: 'The Government's green list is very welcome, but they need to expand it massively in the next few weeks to include other low risk markets such as the United States, and remove the need for fully vaccinated passengers to take two expensive PCR tests. Border Force's claims that 'long queues in immigration are inevitable' smack of complacency - they are completely avoidable if Ministers ensure that all desks are staffed at peak times.'
