While the technology is already there for what is known as a LAMP test, with 40-minute results, Heathrow is now working with Oxford and Manchester universities to develop a test with results in just twenty seconds.

John Holland-Kaye, Heathrow Airport’s chief executive, told the Telegraph: “Testing is the lifeline that the UK’s aviation sector needs to get back on its feet. We’ve put some of the most cutting-edge rapid testing technologies into action at Heathrow to see which offers the best solution.

“If we can find a test that is accurate, gets a result within a matter of minutes, is cost-effective and gets the Government green light, we could have the potential to introduce wide-scale testing at the airport.
