AIRPORT operator BAA is expecting over 1 million people to
travel through its hubs between now and Christmas.
A statement issued by BAA said the busiest day at Stansted
would be December 22 and 30, Gatwick December 23 and 30 and Heathrow January 2.
BAA chief executive Mike Hodgkinson said: “With over a
million people expected to travel out of airports over the festive weekend this
year, clearly people are giving air travel a vote of confidence.”
The top five destinations travellers are heading to over the
festive period from Heathrow are, Amsterdam, Dublin, Paris, New York and
Edinburgh.
* BAA is advising all passengers to leave Christmas presents
unwrapped for security purposes.
