Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:58:35 GMT

By Sarah Rappaport | BloombergAirlines in Europe are trying to avoid a repeat of last summer’s travel chaos, when strikes and staff shortages were so bad that London’s Heathrow Airport capped passenger numbers and asked airlines to limit ticket sales. Travelers are going to jam European airports once again in July and August, with passenger numbers returning to or exceeding pre-pandemic levels.To get a sense of how airports are handling the crush so far, passenger rights-company AirHelp analyzed delays of more than 15 minutes and cancelations in June at European airports with 5,000 or more flights that month. The worst offender was London’s Gatwick, with 54% of its flights meeting the company’s criteria for disruption, while Finland’s Helsinki Airport ran the smoothest, with 18% of flights disrupted.Some of Europe’s busiest airports landed in the middle. At Amsterdam’s Schiphol, which handled 72 million passengers in 2019, 36% of flights were affected, while Heathrow, which handled ...

RENO, Nev. — A Nevada man is challenging the revocation of his license plate, which the state says defames Californians.Adam Steelmon, of Fallon, said he has had the plate GOBK2CA for more than 20 years.
