British Airways said Tuesday that it's suspending sales of short-haul flights from London's Heathrow Airport for about a week, a response to the airport's request to limit bookings to help ease travel disruptions caused by booming demand and staff shortages.
Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, meanwhile, said it's extending its daily passenger cap into October.
"As a result of Heathrow's request to limit new bookings, we've decided to take responsible action and limit the available fares on some Heathrow services to help maximize rebooking options for existing customers, given the restrictions imposed on us and the ongoing challenges facing the entire aviation industry," British Airways said in a press statement.
The airport apologized last month to passengers whose travels were disrupted and said service levels had been unacceptable.
