UK lawmakers: Olympics could overwhelm Heathrow
None
British lawmakers have questioned, Wednesday, Heathrow Airport's ability to cope with an influx of passengers during the London Olympics this summer, warning that long lines at immigration could force planes to sit on runways or even circle Europe's busiest airport.
"We understand that significant preparations have been made to accommodate unusual sporting equipment, special lanes for the Olympic family, welcoming arrangements for competitors and additional Olympic ambassadors," the letter stated. "However, far less thought seems to have been given to the issue of how to deal with long queues at immigration." (AP)
