robin: we are so happy to be at heathrow. we don't have any plans to leave heathrow. you're right, it is not going to be easy, but we thing we have a path that will allow us to stay here. if you look at what's happened with the fed before jetblue started this rub and what's happened now, did you ever think you would see our competitors offer business class under $2000 between jfk and heathrow? and it is not covid because these fares were even higher during the covid period. we have to be able to stay at heathrow. guy: you are already having an effect, but you think if you can stay here, those fares will be permanently lower. robin: we are going to keep the fares low. what we have seen every time jetblue has come onto a market, there's a phrase called the jetblue effect. when jetblue comes on the market, fares stay low permanently. we saw it on jfk-lax back in 2014. fares are still half now in business class than they were pre-2014, seven years later. guy: i can't fly the other way. when is that going to change? you can now fly into the u.k. from the united states. wha

kennedy to heathrow. with us now is helane becker, cowan managing director. robin is pretty determined to drive prices down. helane: thanks for having me on the show. jetblue lowers fares to more affordable levels for people to travel, and i think the way to think about it is not only do they make it affordable for people to buy tickets and travel comfortably in their mid class, but also corporations who may not have deals with the bigger airlines, and may be small and medium-sized companies where you are paying for it out-of-pocket. those folks are likely to use jetblue as well. i think it was the number one requested market but they didn't fly by their corporates. so that makes a whole lot of sense, and since they have the aircraft to do it, why not? kailey: given the spread of the delta variant, given guy can't come visit me in the u.s. even though i can technically go visit guy in london, given that landscape, did jetblue make this move at the wrong time? helane: i don't think so. what it does is give

and so rather than flying to an airport far away from london, they can fly to heathrow which is london's most popular airport due to the proximity to the city centre. because there is demand for other airlines has fallen so much, it means that lots of consumers and potential passengers may be tempted to try a new airline when they start flying again. then, thirdly, ithinkjetblue wants to build that name in europe. it is a very well—known airline in america. not well known in europe. so if you want to build your name up, your brand, it's better to do that sooner rather than later. but i think it's important to remember all the europeans are banned from flying to america, americans who are double vaccinated are allowed now to fly into some countries in europe. and also, american citizens are allowed to fly to and from and there are many american citizens in britain eager to visit home this summer, whether they are expats living abroad in places like the uk, or whether it's people like students at the end of an academic year who have not seen theirfamilies for a academic year who have not

remarkably, the bat had been ringed in 2016 near heathrow airport. unfortunately, the bat later died after an attack — but its epicjourney is of huge interest to scientists studying the creatures in the uk. broadcaster and wildlife expert tom hird said that bats are small — but mighty creatures, and there's a huge amount we can learn from them. you're talking about an animal that really, a chunky one might be five centimetres. it's a long way, and across the north sea as well. it's an incredible effort from such a small mammal. bats are pretty hardy creatures. here in the uk we have 18 species of bats, and apart from taking a bit of a break overwinter, they've got to get out there, they've got to get out there and feed. so they can withstand a bit of wind. they can withstand a bit of rain, because they're just, they're so tough. they really are 0lympians. if you watch bats in the wild, they are just going, going, going, fighting for it, really, really tough competitors. so i'm sure that this particular bat just thought, "what, heathrow to moscow?

at heathrow airport, there was an 80% drop in passenger flights thisjuly, compared with before the pandemic. flying abroad this year comes with added costs, including pcr tests. so, how many pcr tests have you had? there's five, five of us. how much? i think about 270. so, i paid about ego—something. so, i paid £132 for myself and my daughter. holiday—makers also have to navigate the traffic light system, a guide to the testing and quarantine measures needed to travel abroad. paul charles runs a pr firm that represents holiday and travel businesses worldwide. he lobbied the government to introduce the system, but isn't impressed with how it's being run. the traffic light system i think has failed consumers. it hasn't worked in the way it should've done. it should've been really simple, enabling consumers to know whether a country's red or whether its green. as simple as that. then you either know somewhere's out of bounds, or it isn't. do you think the uk's international travel industry has been left out in the cold? this summer is a write—off, really. it hasn't been the summer the i
