Florence Brown Director of Communications at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) confirmed on Tuesday that the airport had signed a unique and targeted Memorandum of Understanding with Heathrow Airport (LHR), which will see the two major international hubs work closer together in the recovery from the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
“Heathrow is PHL’s busiest transatlantic route with more than 2,200 annual flights and 455,000 onboarded passengers in 2019,” said PHL CEO Chellie Cameron. “This partnership will help us safely restart travel for our most important transatlantic trade corridor.”
“We have been working closely with PHL over the past six months - exchanging information and best practice supporting the delivery of a safe and secure environment for our passengers,” said LHR CEO John Holland-Kaye. “We wanted to take this engagement a step further by signing an MoU as we work hard to bring back a safe and meaningful restart of travel between the UK and U.S.”
