Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said:
"We're on a journey to be an extraordinary airport fit for the future and it's great to see the progress we're making this year with smooth journeys for a record number of passengers choosing Heathrow. But to keep up the momentum the government needs to exempt airside transit passengers from the ETA scheme to avoid encouraging passengers to spend and do business elsewhere. We need to level the playing field, so the UK aviation industry continues to be world-class."
