Heathrow airport boss quits after turbulent year

CEO John Holland-Kaye to resign after nine years at helm amid public souring of ties with airlines

Heathrow’s chief executive, John Holland-Kaye, has announced his resignation after a difficult year for Britain’s biggest airport.

Holland-Kaye will be leaving at some point this year after nine years in charge and after a year in which the airport was heavily criticised by major airlines for imposing a cap on passengers in the peak summer season.
