on the heathrow's -- 26.94. heathrow story, a gentleman who is good it aviation, guy johnson joins us at heathrow. what is the distinction of the chaos at heathrow? guy: it is getting worse. while there are different problems in different parts of the world, the air traffic control system in the united states, it is here in heathrow with a situation where they can't have enough quickly enough. note has been published this morning by the ceo of heathrow, he goes on to talk about the arithmetic of what is happening here. they're trying to bring people in and it is a slow process. they are hiring as quickly as they can and then struggling to train staff as quickly as they can. they're not keeping up with the demand. heathrow is now saying it can deliver 100,000 passengers a day and no more. what it is saying is that by current forecasts, looking at the current forecasts, airlines have booked around 104,000 seats per day in and out of heathrow. they are saying they can't do that. what they are saying is in excess of

operating from heathrow.e not prepared to accept more than 100,000 passengers through our doors each day, and as a result, you, the airlines, have to cancel as many flights as you can to bring down the number of passengers per day so we reach that 100,000." but what is really annoying the airlines is the plan for after the 25th ofjuly, when heathrow is talking about capping the number of seats on each plane, so they will let the flights take off as planned, which means most people will still get away, but actually, they are asking them to consider capping up to 25% of the seats on each flight and that will annoy many consumers as well as the airlines. it also makes them less cost efficient, and less environmentally friendly, doesn't it? this is something of course airlines are grappling with every day around their environmental prowess, trying to bring down carbon emissions, but consumers are voting with their feet. this is a peak year, we are seeing record demand post—pandemic for people wanting to fly, and

operations at heathrow always seem to be teetering on the brink.last—minute agreements, and it went down to the wire with emirates because earlier this week, emirates sent out quite a robust critique to heathrow, saying that it was not going to comply. but overnight, they sat down, they had some constructive talks and the upshot is that emirates will continue to operate but will not sell any more seats, or any more tickets, until mid—august. there is also a bit of a problem with etihad as well. etihad is refusing to comply. we have to say, do they have the necessary enforcement action at heathrow? they are prevailing upon airlines to reach these mutual agreements. prevailing upon them and so frustrating for the airlines, who are desperate to recoup the millions that they have lost in the last 2.5 years. and it is obviously unprecedented for an airport to say to an airline, you must stop operating. it's going against the grain. it's a deregulated industry. heathrow is run privately, it is a private organisation, and the same goes for the airlines. a

the boss of heathrow said this morning, just bear with us. let's work together. schedules as planned, but for now, we have only got 70 or 75% of the baggage handling, security staff that we need, therefore we have seen lots of scenes across short social across news platforms, of people having to face delays, cancellations, and huge chaos. let's try and avoid those scenes and make make it as smooth as possible. i'm nowjoined by paul charles who is ceo of travel consultancy firm, the pc agency. thanks very much forjoining us. explain if you would how this capping works. what would it mean in practice once you get on the plane? there are two kinds of capping. first of all, capping flights up until the 25th ofjuly. this means heathrow is saying we are not prepared to accept more than 100,000 passengers through our doors each day and as a result, you, the airlines, have to cancel as many flights as you can to bring down the number of passengers per day. we reached that 100,000, but what is really annoying the airlines is the plan for after the 25th ofjuly, when heathr

here is more from heathrow.s is heathrow saying it cannot cope with the number of passengers it is currently expted to see over the summer and those extra 4000 passengers a day will equate to flight cancellations. we don't know how many flights exactly will b canceled and we don't know which airlines at the moment will be the worst affected. that is still being worked out. there are fewer passengers traveling from heathrow airport and therwere before the pandemic. in 2019 during the course of the summer, they would be about 125,000 passengers that would be departing from heathrow every day. that is expected to be about 104,000 at the moment are this summer period. but heathrow said it is under resource for or that so it is capping the numbers at 100,000. airlines will now have to work with an intermediary to see how that will affect their flight schedules. ♪ host: we are live in westminster. our lead story is the race to replace boris johnson as leader of the conservative party and u.k. prime minister has been n

well, ultimately heathrow says they are under l heathrow says they are under resourced an we have seen people, we have seen backlog, piles of bags that haven't been able to be processed and this is part of the airport trying to improve the expense of passengers but the reality is this means there will be flight cancellations that there will be seats that will be cancelled as well. the cap is 100 thousand. they anticipated 104,000 every day. this is below prepandemic levels which would have been up to 125,000 deparring. at that level the airport is saying it doesn't think it can cope with that number of passenger, even though this is a crucial period nor the airport and airlines to make up nor the airport and airlines to make up a lot the monetary policy they lost in the pandemic. so up a lot the monetary policy they lost in the pandemic.— up a lot the monetary policy they lost in the pandemic. so there will be ca -s lost in the pandemic. so there will be caps lacings — lost in the pandemic. so there will be caps lacings and _ lost in the pandemic. so there will be caps lacings and doub

because it's notjust heathrow which is experiencing problems.e day and hope for the best? how can you be sure you're going to get away when you plan to? well, what the government is saying is that they want airlines to make these cancellations far further in advance. the scenes we saw at heathrow this week, where the airport had to say to airlines, right, you need to cut 30 flights, we just physically can't actually process this number of people through the airport, that's what they're trying to avoid because that creates chaos — people being told at check—in at the gate sometimes that their flight�*s been cancelled is not right. what they're asking airlines to do is look at their schedules for the next two months and start cancelling flights now so at least people have got a bit of notice, they can make other plans, they can change their original sort of plans for holidays or trips, but you need the notice to be able to do that. and hopefully that's what's going to be happening with this. now, the slot amnesty as well, the fact that airlines ar

we still believe they were overly generous to heathrow. but what we've seen is an airport that it, in effect, tries to gain the regulatory environment to get massive increases when not justified. let's move on to the topic of going green because this was a decision that was taken at the last a g. m to reach carbon. net 0 carbon emissions by the year 2050. so can you tell us what progress has been made so far to to achieve that goal and whether the you think the industry is in fact on the right track. well, 1st and foremost, i think it was a great achievement to get the industry a lines behind net 0 by 2050. so we're now aligned with the power supreme and with the and vision of many governments. it is going to be difficult without question, because d carbonized in the airline industry is a major challenge and like many other industries. but what we've done is we've set out a credible pathway to achieving net 0 and 2050. now the main way we will achieve that is through greater use of sustainable ation fuels. and we are seeing increasing volu

the worst offenderfor outside of london, heathrow the worst offender for cancellations, certainly inal airports like birmingham, leeds, bradford, bristol where there have been fewer cancellations and you can look at travelling early in the morning so you are on the first flight out to the destination where there is more chance of that flight going than late in the day, and of course by travelling early in the morning you are avoiding some of the build—up of queues that is tending to happen in the security and check—in areas.

heathrow is following on. seen the biggest carrier at heathrow, british airways, paring their flights this summer. they have cut about 13% of their scheduled flights this summer. we are seeing a wide issue across the travel industry where airlines and airports are cutting capacity because they aren't quite sure they have the staffing to operate those flights and they are trying to prevent last-minute cancellations. tom: this may well not be the last. thank you for walking us through that announcement from heathrow trying to address the challenges. let's stay on the travel story. joining me now is the president of the british airline pilots association. thank you for joining us this morning. what is your assessment of the current state in terms of the ability for pilots to get back to work and the need for airlines to address the concerns of pilots at this point? >> the industry is clearly still suffering from the ramp up. we were quite clear with the government when they canceled the furlough scheme that this
