UK Eases Airport Security
By Nick September 14, 2006
A Reuters article reports that the UK is planning to ease its airport security and restrictions next week. The article doesn’t cite new, specific restrictions. During the ban of liquids and the tough luggage rules, 2,000 flights were canceled.
The canceled flights hurt Brittish Airways most. They lost an estimated $75 million to stranded passengers for hotels and luggage losses. The budget airlines like Ryanair and easyJet were also hurt.
Additionally, the airport operator BAA, who operates London’s Heathrow, lost $25 million.
