The airlines were told to cancel flights to and from the London airport. There are people at the airport.

"Emirates is a key and steadfast operator at LHR, having reinstated six daily A380 flights since October 2021," the carrier said. From the past 10 months of regularly high seat loads, our operational requirements cannot be a surprise to the airport.

John Holland- Kaye wrote an open letter to flyers explaining that the airport's daily passenger capacity would be capped at 100,000. Kaye asked airlines to stop selling summer tickets as daily bookings already exceed the cap.

The airport has a number of service problems this summer, including excessive security lines and widespread baggage handling failures.

The carrier said that it was told to cut back on capacity within 36 hours. The specific flights on which the airlines should exclude passengers were stated by the airport, according to the airline.

The carrier claims that the carrier wants to deny seats to a lot of passengers.

The airline believes in doing the right thing. With all flights running full for the next weeks, rebooking the sheer number of potentially impacted passengers is impossible. It will be difficult to find new onward connections for 70% of our customers from LHR because they are headed out of the country to see loved ones.

There was no response to a request for comment on Thursday.

The airline said that it would operate as scheduled.
