London, July 14 (UNI) Emirates airline has blasted one of the world’s busiest airports for its “incompetence” in failing to handle a surge in passengers, media reports said. The Dubai-based airline on Thursday slammed demands made by London’s Heathrow airport earlier this week that carriers stop selling any more tickets for this summer, CNN reported.
The airline, which operates six daily flights from Heathrow, has rejected the new limits and called them “entirely unreasonable and unacceptable”, CNN reported. Heathrow, like other airports, has struggled to cope with a bounce back in travelers after two years of pandemic re- restrictions and staff cuts. The airport said on Tuesday that it would cap daily passenger numbers at 100,000 until September 11. “(London Heath- row) chose not to act, not to plan, not to invest. Now faced with an ‘armageddon’ situation due to their incompetence and non-action, they are pushing the entire burden of costs and the scramble.
