President George W. Bush's recent stopover in London slowed the travel of nearly 40,000 fliers at Heathrow Airport, according to British Airways CEO Willie Walsh. Heathrow airport operator BAA confirmed today that 32 arrivals and 36 departures were canceled as a result of Bush's trips into and out of Heathrow on June 15 and 16, The Associated Press writes.
"BAA, the airlines and other business partners at Heathrow did everything in their power to minimize disruption at the airport during George Bush's presidential visit," BAA says in a statement. "Despite our best efforts some disruption did occur, for which we apologize to passengers affected." BA CEO Walsh took a dimmer view of the disruption. "The decision to allow President Bush and his fleet of aircraft to fly into Heathrow rather than a military base was one all of Heathrow's users could have done without," Walsh is quoted as saying in BA's employee news letter. "I am also angry that this was allowed," he adds.
