Mr Holland-Kaye continued: “That’s why we need a way of making sure that only people who are very low risk are allowed into the airport and can travel through the journey.
“That will make sure that the most people as possible can continue to live their lives as normal.
“It’s not just about passengers, of course, it’s about the goods that go in the cargo holds of passenger planes from Heathrow that are the lifeblood of the British economy.
“We need both passengers and goods to be able to travel all over the world to get the British economy firing on all cylinders. We need Heathrow to be flying again.”
The Heathrow boss continued: “We’ll make sure that people travel safely and confidently through the airport.
“So we can get back to business as usual as quickly as possible.
“There are checks in place that Public Health England put in place, though they are not as visible as they might be in some other airports.
“I think this lack of consistency does create uncertainty with passengers and create a sense that they’re not being as well looked after as we should be.
“That’s why we need to move from each country having their own way of doing things to an international standard.”
