London Heathrow's £1 Billion Scanner Challenge Eats Into Profit
London Heathrow Airport said the installation of next-generation security scanners has dented half-year profits because the project is proving so large and complicated.
The UK's largest hub is still working with authorities on a completion date for fitting the computed-tomogrophy machines, a project valued at just over £1 billion ($1.4 billion), Chief Executive Officer Thomas Woldbye said on Wednesday. Other London hubs, including Gatwick and City, have already finished switching over to the new devices.
