Heathrow CEO: Ministers need a Plan B for Britain's aviation
sector if it remains grounded
-- Heathrow has faced 15 consecutive months of supressed demand,
with May's passenger numbers languishing at 90% below pre-pandemic
2019 levels - a loss of over 6 million passengers in the month.
-- One month after Government hailed the restart of
international travel and assured the public that a risk-based
traffic light system would unlock low-risk travel, the system has
yet to achieve what it was designed to do. Ministers' refusal to
provide transparency on the data behind the decision making and
failure to introduce a green 'watchlist' has undermined consumer
confidence. At the next review on June 28(th) , the Government must
rely on the science and restart travel to low-risk countries like
the US, clear a pathway to restriction-free travel for vaccinated
passengers and replace expensive PCR tests with lateral flow for
low-risk arrivals.
-- With Ministers now promising to prioritise the domestic
unlock and no clear end date to travel restrictions, a bespoke
support plan for the beleaguered and neglected travel industry must
be forthcoming. The sector employs tens of thousands of people
across Britain who will be wondering what will happen to their jobs
and livelihoods after another lost summer. The Government should
provide targeted compensation to the sector, starting with business
rates relief and an extension to the furlough scheme whilst
Ministers continue to keep travel locked down.
-- Reopening transatlantic travel is critical to the UK and US
and we welcome the establishment of the joint travel taskforce.
Earlier this week the CEOs of American Airlines, British Airways,
Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic and
Heathrow Airport joined forces to stress the need to safely reopen
the transatlantic corridor. CEBR research shows that Heathrow's US
passengers accounted for over GBP3bn pounds of spend across the UK
in 2019. Pre-pandemic Britain was the top destination for US
tourists, but this leadership position is at risk of being snapped
up and our Global Britain ambitions undermined by France and Italy,
who are already set to open their doors to vaccinated American
travellers in the coming weeks.
-- G7 leaders must seize the opportunity to join forces and
tackle one of the biggest challenges facing our generation, climate
change. Major carriers within G7 states have committed to net-zero
flying by 2050, however we can only achieve this goal by rapidly
scaling up the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). The
technology exists - Heathrow took its first delivery of SAF last
week - but we need the right Government policies to build
confidence in demand. We are calling on world leaders to
collectively commit to escalating mandates of 10% SAF use by 2030,
growing to at least 50% by 2050 and price incentive mechanisms
similar to those that have kick started other low carbon sectors.
The G7 should take a global lead in committing to net-zero
aviation, agree to at least 10% SAF in its communique, and build a
global coalition for those who back that ambition.
Heathrow CEO, John Holland-Kaye said: "With the G7 starting
today, ministers have a chance to kickstart the green global
recovery by agreeing how to resume international travel safely and
setting a mandate for sustainable aviation fuels that will
decarbonise aviation. This is the time for them to show global
leadership."
