LONDON, England: After limiting the number of passenger departures since July to prevent long queues, baggage delays and flight cancellations, London's Heathrow airport is set to end its daily limits on passenger departures beginning October 29.

Airlines and airports across Europe struggled to cope with the rebound in post-lockdown travel, with many airlines unable to recruit enough staff to handle check-ins and baggage.

Passenger journeys improved, with fewer last-minute cancellations, better punctuality and shorter wait times for bags since the limit on passengers was introduced, Heathrow said in August.
