US officials are reviving stalled talks about creating an “air corridor” between London and New York, it was reported on Saturday, with hope that a system could be in place in time for Thanksgiving.
The American holiday, on November 26 this year, usually sees huge numbers of people flying internationally and domestically, to visit relatives and take advantage of days off work.
British and US authorities had discussed the possibility of an air corridor between London and New York earlier this year, but the talks now have added urgency as Thanksgiving and Christmas draw nearer.
The Transportation Department, Department of Homeland Security and other agencies are attempting once again to establish safe travel corridors between the US and international destinations, the Wall Street Journal reported.
