LONDON—London Heathrow Airport has told airlines it will lift a cap on passenger numbers at its terminals later this month, according to people familiar with the decision, ending one of the most extraordinary measures the aviation industry put in place this summer to deal with a surge in travel and a shortage of workers.
The cap, which limits daily departing passengers from its terminals to 100,000 a day, won’t continue beyond Oct. 29 when the official summer flying season ends, people briefed on the matter said.
