Further restrictions on flights at Heathrow Airport are not expected to cause additional changes on flights to Bermuda.

Heathrow Airport has urged airlines to stop selling tickets for summer travel in an effort to limit the number of travellers to 100,000 per day – about 4,000 fewer than currently scheduled.

However, Skyport said the change had not caused any additional impact on flights to the island. British Airways had previously reduced its schedule of flights to the island with 26 flights removed from the schedule between June and the end of September.

A British Airways spokeswoman said in May that the reductions were intended to “provide certainty for our customers” while giving those who had already bought tickets time to rebook.

Heathrow Airport imposed the unprecedented cap of 100,000 departing passengers each day through the summer from July 12 to September 11, 2022.

The chief executive of Britain’s biggest airport, John Holland-Kaye, said this target can be achieved by airlines ceasing ticket sales on summer flights “to ensure passengers have a safe and reliable journey”.
