The Cash Cost of Londons Airline Scare

BAA, which operates Londons Heathrow Airport, is set to announce losses of 20 million pounds due to the recent terror alert. British Airways has already announced 40 million pounds in losses, following the cancellation of flightsthousands at Heathrow aloneand restrictive security measures.

BBC News:

Following the alert on 10 August, passengers were barred from taking any hand luggage onto planes, except for one small plastic bag.

Although the rules were subsequently relaxed, allowing people to carry one item of hand luggage the size of laptop computer on board, the security measures were fiercely criticised by airlines.

Ryanair is seeking £3.3m in compensation from the government, claiming the restrictions were excessive, unevenly applied and damaged its business.
