Heathrow isn’t crowded, it’s travellers walking on the wrong side, boss says

Thomas Woldbye says part of airport's problem is UK passengers walk on the left while others walk on the right

Heathrow airport has revealed a crowding problem that a third runway cannot solve: British and foreign travellers walk on different sides, and keep colliding, according to its chief executive.

Thomas Woldbye said that while Heathrow serviced more passengers in a smaller overall area than comparable European hubs, part of the London airport's trouble was the differing continental sense of direction.
