Temperature checks are being carried out at the airport's departure gate on people going to places where it is already required
The boss of Heathrow Airport has told MPs that it is trialling large-scale temperature checks as the aviation industry struggles with coronavirus.
"If you want to get the UK economy started again, you have to get the aviation sector started again." Any flight between two destinations would have to comply with the highest level, with staff wearing personal protective equipment and all passengers wearing masks under the strictest level three, for example.
Heathrow's boss also revealed that he has not spoken to the UK's Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, since the beginning of the pandemic.
