With passenger numbers slumping to one-fifth of normal, Heathrow airport bosses are again blaming the government for dragging its feet over CCP virus testing and for “debilitating” quarantine demands.

Heathrow airport said today that traffic in October was down 82 percent, in line with eight months of “catastrophic” decline.
