London’s Heathrow Airport said that renewed travel restrictions made on the discovery of the Omicron CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variant has spooked passengers, especially business travelers, who worry they won’t be able to get back home.
According to figures released Friday, the demand for air travel, which had started to inch back to normalcy in October, had lost its momentum, and numbers in November were 60 percent below what they were before the pandemic, despite the fact that the United States had restarted international air travel for vaccinated passengers last month.
