Government reverses visa rule for Heathrow transit passengers
- Heathrow Airport has welcomed a government reversal on the ETA permit rule for transit passengers, who will no longer need to apply for a permit just to change planes.
- The Home Office previously required non-European passengers to obtain an ETA, causing concerns it could lead to a loss of four million passengers annually.
- The Home Office confirmed a temporary exemption for airside transit passengers after pressure from the aviation industry, stating it will review the exemption.
- Heathrow's CEO, Thomas Woldbye, praised the decision as critical for maintaining the airport's competitiveness and connectivity.
