Save This Sci-Fi: 8 Movies And Shows Being Erased From Existence
By Joshua Tyler
| Published
The age of streaming has, in theory, been a boon for older content, which is suddenly available for everyone to watch in a way it never has been before. That’s how it looks on paper, but the reality is that streaming platforms only stream content they think they can make money off of, and sometimes, the rest isn’t worth their time.
That wouldn’t be a problem if physical media were still a viable format, but fewer than 50% of households still have access to a Blu-ray player, and as a result, Hollywood has stopped supporting it. Odds are, if you’re looking for something old, it’s out of print, and you’ll be forced to dig through boxes at garage sales hoping to find a diamond in the rough.
For certain content, this won’t be a problem. Obviously, a version of an iconic movie like Back to the Future will always be available to watch. Other sci-fi, though, hasn’t been as lucky, and some of it is on the verge of being erased from existence altogether.
These are the eight sci-fi movies and television shows most in danger of being deleted from reality, ranked in order by which I believe is the most in danger of vanishing forever.
8. Buck Rogers
Released in 1979 first as a movie and then as a series, Buck Rogers was based on characters created in 1928 by science fiction writer Philip Francis Nowlan. For two seasons, it followed its title character half a millennium after he was accidentally frozen.
Revived 504 years later, Buck Rogers tries comically to adjust to the social changes of the future, all while helping the Earth Defense Directorate fend off warring factions from the planet Draconian. Along the way, he befriends a robot and the hottest babe in the future, one Wilma Deering, played by the iconic Erin Grey.
Buck Rogers is the kind of show that should be getting endless rewatching by old and new fans alike, but no one can do that. For a brief time, it was available to stream on Peacock, but the show was yanked without explanation and hasn’t come back. The cause could be a lengthy legal battle over the rights, but that has since been settled, which makes the situation strange.
Whatever the reason, you can’t watch it on streaming services, and while older physical media copies can be found online, they’re often only available at very high prices. Buck Rogers is a major media property, and Hollywood always seems on the verge of resurrecting it, but if things continue the way they are, it’ll be forgotten long before they get around to it.
7. Cocoon
Cocoon asks: What would you do to be young again? At first, Cocoon is a laid-back movie about the residents of a retirement home. One day, they show up for a swim and see large rocks at the bottom of the pool.
The misery of old age begins to vanish. They regain their health. They start dancing.
In parallel, there’s 1980s icon Steve Gutenberg taking a group of nice people out on his character boat. Out at sea and lusting after the female member of their group, Guttenberg accidentally stumbles into the truth: they’re aliens, and those rocks they’ve been bringing up from the ocean floor are alien pods.
Despite being one of the biggest and most acclaimed movies of the 1980s, Cocoon is not available to stream anywhere, and it’s out of print on DVD. Why? The movie’s director, Ron Howard, has been asked, but refuses to answer.
Basically, blame the estate of the film’s composer, James Horner. The way Horner’s contract was negotiated may have been odd compared to the other movies he worked on. That likely turned into an even bigger problem when, sadly, James Horner died in 2015 at the age of 61, and now there’s confusion over who owns his work in Cocoon.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no movement at all to rescue this movie and bring it back to the public. It was last released on DVD more than 20 years ago and has been out of print on all physical media for a long time. Copies of Cocoon have become so rare that eBay sellers are now charging significant money for them.
6. Space Above and Beyond
Space: Above and Beyond tried to do something different from all the rest: it was first and foremost a military series. Centered on a group of fighter pilots, the prime directive of the series was to find bugs, kill bugs, and make it home in one piece. Space: Above and Beyond aired on Fox, which means that you, the discerning sci-fi fan, know exactly what happened to ensure that the series never received a second season
Today, you can’t find Space: Above and Beyond on any streaming network, not even through Video on Demand. There are bootleg copies available on YouTube, but those will likely only last until the IP’s current owners do their next copyright sweep.
You can find it on DVD, but it’s out of print, so you’ll pay a premium and maybe have to look for used copies. Worst of all, after their buyout, Disney owns it, and they’re unlikely to care at all about a one-season show that was canceled decades before they owned the company.
5. The Lone Gunmen
The Lone Gunmen was an X-Files spinoff from the mind of Breaking Bad and Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan. The show revolves around the titular trio, the show is named for, as they get in over their heads in various conspiracies.
Unfortunately, it proved to be too good at predicting the future. The pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen involved a plot where rogue government agents try to pilot a major airliner into the World Trade Center and make it look like a terrorist attack. Further, the episode’s revelation that secret government forces merely wanted to use terrorists as scapegoats echoes many real-world conspiracy theories about the role that George W. Bush or other powerful government forces may have had in the attack on the Twin Towers.
That was enough to get it canceled, despite good reviews and decent ratings. It’s also enough to make sure that no one will ever be able to watch it again. It’s not available on legitimate streaming services, and DVD copies are long out of print.
4. Time Trax
Time Trax aired on television from 1993 to 1994 as part of the iconic, syndicated television “action pack.” In it, criminals from the year 2193 use a time machine called a Trax to go back to the past of a parallel universe. Police Captain Darien Lambert, played by Dale Midkiff, goes off in pursuit, aided by SELMA (Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive), his version of Al, and he can’t return until all of them have been apprehended.
What Time Trax did differently was to make the future humans superior, ranging from higher IQs and rapid memorization to the ability to move faster and, in what were frequently the best shots of the series, the ability to perceive time faster, giving the appearance of slowing down time around them. Time Trax was delightfully charming in the same way as other 90s syndicated hits like Hercules and Xena. And now it’s being erased from existence.
You can’t find it on streaming anywhere, and physical media copies, while available, are all basically used since it hasn’t been in print since 2012, when it was released on DVD. That means the cost to get a copy is rising rapidly.
The mess the show is in is caused by the tangled web of who owns the actual rights to it. Gary Nardino Productions developed Time Trax, while Lorimar helped get it to air. The problem is that Lorimar was bought by Warner Bros., while Paramount purchased Gary Nardino.
The rights to the series were split between two studios, and nothing has been done with Time Trax since. Given the short run of the series and its limited fanbase, it’s safe to assume that nothing ever will be done to preserve it, unless people start making noise about it.
3. Ernest Goes To Camp
Alright, I’m cheating a little on this one, because this is definitely not a sci-fi movie, though you could argue that the Ernest movie Jim Varney followed it up with, Ernest Goes To Jail, is. But Ernest Goes To Camp is a movie for the kinds of people who watch sci-fi, the geeks, the outcasts, the oddballs, and it’s being erased from existence.
The movie is a standard 80s summer camp film, following a group of outcast kids, the Second Chancers, as they attend Kamp Kikakee, a struggling summer camp run by Chief St. Cloud, a Plains Indian. It’s the usual outcasts vs. evil industrialist plot, as Sherman Krader wants to shut down the camp and mine its resources. It’s elevated to instant classic levels thanks to Varney’s portrayal of Ernest as the camp’s maintenance man.
Unfortunately, Ernest Goes to Camp has become a victim of cancel culture. Worst of all, neither Jim Varney nor the Ernest character did anything wrong.
The problem is an actor named Iron Eyes Cody, who plays a minor role as a Native American in the movie. His real name was Espera Oscar de Coti, and he was actually Italian. No one knew that Cody was a fraud when Ernest Goes to Camp was made. He fooled everyone, including his close friend Walt Disney.
Embarrassed by their founder’s faux pau Disney now classifies it as a racist movie, alongside other past productions like Song of the South. They’re determined to make sure it’s erased from existence. You won’t find it on streaming, and physical media copies are long since out of print. Disney has no intention of ever making it available again.
2. Harrison Bergeron
In 1995, Showtime adapted a Kurt Vonnegut short story into a TV movie called Harrison Bergeron. Harrison (played by Samwise Gamgee himself, Sean Astin) is still an abnormally bright kid, but when he is taken away by the government in the movie, it’s under the pretext of being given a lobotomy. In reality, Harrison’s been selected to join the secret organization that actually runs the world.
Harrison decides to work in the government’s television division and eventually plans a variation on the short story. He takes over the broadcast room and begins playing classic movies and music for the public that have been hidden away for generations.
It’s no secret masterpiece, but Harrison Bergeron is the kind of challenging sci-fi movie we shouldn’t leave in the dustbin. That’s looking like the case. As I write this, the movie is not available on any streaming or video-on-demand service, and it’s out of print on physical media
Worst of all, because it was a TV movie, and even though it was a really good one and a popular one, there’s no real urgency from Hollywood to preserve it or put money into it. They’re happy to let it rot. Without some sort of outcry, they probably will.
1. Misfits of Science
The sci-fi most in danger of being permanently deleted from existence? Misfits of Science. Misfits of Science was pure 80s with a sci-fi twist. A team of super-powered oddballs work for a think tank called the Humanidyne Institute, studying “human anomalies.”
Misfits of Science was lighthearted, funny, and packed with heart, perfect for kids dreaming of superpowers. It’s Ghostbusters meets The A-Team, with madcap energy and zero budget for subtlety.
Misfits of Science lingered in pop culture for years after its disappearance, but now it’s gone. You can’t watch Misfits of Science legally anywhere in the US. It’s not available anywhere on streaming, and definitely not legally. And because it was a failed TV show, good luck finding it on physical media.
You’d think NBC would throw it on Peacock, because, why not? But no, the show isn’t there. Some episodes pop up on YouTube, bootleg-style, but that’s not a dependable way to watch it.
Why? The theme song may be a cause. The show’s theme song is one of the all-time best opening credits numbers, and it seems to be mired in extreme levels of copyright policing. Try playing a few seconds from it on YouTube, and you’ll see what I mean.
That song, “Feels Like Science”, was performed by Karen Lawrence and composed by the great Basil Poledouris, the genius behind the score of movies like Robocop and Conan the Barbarian. Work like his often ends up locked in studio copyright vaults, and that may be part of the problem with Misfits. It just isn’t worth the trouble to sort all that out.
Protecting the rights of musicians and creators is important, and I support it. But it’s not so important that it’s worth erasing a vital piece of cultural history in the name of it. Far too many of the shows and movies on this list are being forgotten, simply because someone who owns the music rights has an inflated sense of their own importance.
Cultural Preservation Trumps Copyright
Does refusing to let NBC stream Misfits of Science unless they pay big fees help the estate of Basil Pouleoris? No, it only helps people forget about his music and everything he was ever involved in.
You know what would help? Letting people hear his music.
That’s the answer for most of these. There’s no real money left to be made here, but there is a history worth preserving. Let people preserve it by lifting copyright restrictions and allowing fans to upload copies on YouTube.

Before every streaming service had its own globe-trotting puzzle thriller, there was The Da Vinci Code — the movie that turned symbology into blockbuster spectacle. And now, nearly two decades after it dominated theaters, Tom Hanks’ mystery juggernaut is heading to free streaming on Tubi next month.
If you’ve been craving something in the National Treasure lane — secret societies, ancient clues, historical conspiracies — this is your chaotic, slightly more serious option. Although, please be warned, it is not as good as it should have been. The film also stars Audrey Tautou as Sophie Neveu, Ian McKellen as Sir Leigh Teabing, Jean Reno as Captain Bezu Fache, Paul Bettany as Silas, and Alfred Molina as Bishop Aringarosa.
While National Treasure leaned into swashbuckling fun, The Da Vinci Code plays it straight — moody lighting, heavy themes, and a tone that insists this is Very Serious Business, and yet, that intensity is part of the appeal. It commits to its mystery. It treats every clue like a seismic revelation. It moves briskly, even when the exposition gets dense.
Was ‘The Da Vinci Code’ Successful?
Hanks pushed back against criticism in an interview with the Evening Standard, saying, “We always knew there would be a segment of society that would not want this movie to be shown. But the story we tell is loaded with all sorts of hooey and fun kind of scavenger-hunt-type nonsense. If you are going to take any sort of movie at face value, particularly a huge-budget motion picture like this, you’d be making a very big mistake.” Hanks reprised his role in two sequels — Angels & Demons, which made nearly $500 million globally, and Inferno, which tanked with just over $200 million worldwide. The franchise was rebooted for television with a show titled The Lost Symbol. Inferno in particular was spectacularly bad.
Collider’s review stated that Inferno doubled down on everything that made the previous Robert Langdon films so exhausting, delivering a messy, joyless thriller that felt creatively bankrupt from the jump:
“It’s almost like Dan Brown looked at Indiana Jones and thought, ‘Yeah, I like what he does, but I hate that he has a personality. Also, if he could mansplain everything to a female sidekick, that would be a plus.’”
The Da Vinci Code will begin streaming for free on Tubi from March 1.

Science fiction has been warning us about the dangers of seemingly helpful technological innovations for over a hundred years. Even before computers were found in every home and in our pockets, overreliance on technology has been a common theme, including in the legendary anthology series, The Twilight Zone.
“Nick of Time” was released on November 18, 1960, and while it’s about a man’s dependence on a cheap fortune-telling novelty toy, it still works. 66 years later, in the era of ChatGPT and AI language models that are all too willing to provide advice.
William Shatner’s Choice Paralysis
“Nick of Time” stars William Shatner as Don Carter and Patricia Breslin (future wife of Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell) as Pat Carter, newlyweds stuck in a small town in the middle of Ohio, when they come across a cheap fortune-telling novelty machine in the booth of a roadside diner. Don plays with the machine by asking it if he’ll get a promotion when he gets the affirmative response, “It has been decided in your favor.” One call to New York later, Don realizes he got the promotion, and his fascination with the tabletop trinket quickly becomes an obsession.
Don continues asking questions to the devil-topped fortune-teller and receives inane generic responses, from “that makes a good deal of sense,” to “the answer to that is obvious,” and of course, “try again.” Paralyzed by indecision without the guidance from the fortune-teller, Don remains trapped in the booth, waiting for an answer to the question, “Where should we live?” Unlike most episodes of The Twilight Zone, Pat breaks her husband free from his obsession, and they leave town, but the ending shows another couple, trapped, unable to leave until the fortune-telling machine says they can.
The unsubtle message of “Nick of Time” is the importance of human connection over a machine. The Twilight Zone has stood the test of time because of the universal morals at the heart of its twisted stories. 50 years later, Her told a similar story of a man becoming infatuated with a machine, and Ex Machina added a new wrinkleby giving the machine a human form. The AI in both movies is far, far more advanced than a penny fortune-teller, but the end result, obsession, decision paralysis, a loss of human connection, it’s all the same.
The Twilight Zone Is A Timeless Classic For A Reason
William Shatner went on to star in another, better-remembered episode of The Twilight Zone, “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” and a little show you may have heard of called Star Trek. His overacting has been parodied for decades, but as both of his appearances in Rod Serling’s masterpiece show, when asked to play a man slowly losing his mind, there’s no one better.
The Twilight Zone is still one of the greatest shows of all time, and episodes like “Nick of Time” prove why no amount of reboots and revivals can match the simple effectiveness of the original. In 1960, no one imagined that we’d eventually have an app on our phones that acts exactly like the devil-head fortune-teller from the episode, but it doesn’t matter. The early horror sci-fi series could have been talking about television, computers, or telephones, and its point would still land: don’t let technology rule your life. Though today, a character would come right out and say, “go touch grass.”

Rebel was cheesing so hard, clearly hyped to be in the building, while Queen was living for their mother-and-son date. Some folks online were completely shook after seeing Rebel. To be fair, Latifah maintains a lowkey lifestyle and doesn’t really much about him or her partner, Eboni Nichols, on social media.
TL Goes WILD Over Queen & Rebel’s Mommy-Son Outing
Folks didn’t let up on being surprised to learn that Queen Latifah had a son. Some said they were today years while dropping reactions in The Shade Room’s comment section.

Even though Queen tends to refrain from posting on social media, Rebel has popped out with her at NBA games before.

Whew! Barack Obama is weighing in on the wild world of social media and public discourse, and it looks like President Donald Trump might’ve sparked another round of online chaos. Across social media, folks were reacting in full force after a controversial clip involving the Obama’s made its way across timelines. And now, the former POTUS is finally speaking out.

Obama Stays Unbothered Amid Trump Drama
In a recent interview on ‘No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen,’ former POTUS Barack Obama didn’t hold back when discussing social media controversy, indirectly addressing a viral video on former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social. He called out the loss of shame and decorum in public behavior, saying, “And what is true is that there doesn’t seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office.” Additionally, Obama reflected on the contrast between the online chaos and the everyday kindness he still sees across the country.
He also shared these thoughts during the podcast conversation, noting that while the social media “clown show” chaos “gets attention” and serves as a distraction, it doesn’t reflect the majority of Americans. While traveling around the U.S., he still meets people who “still believe in decency, courtesy, and kindness,” Obama shared. Furthermore, he emphasized that even amid the online madness, him and Michelle remain unbothered and steadfast.
The Roomies Didn’t Come To Play On This One
As soon as the clip dropped, folks ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section, praising Obama for being a class act. Meanwhile, a few cheekily asked when is he going to say “it’s on sight” to Trump. And, of course, many just admitted they miss the days of him in office.
One Instagram user @frog_ismynickname said, “When President Obama speaks… we listen. 🎤🙌”
This Instagram user @theamyyedit shared, “I miss having an articulate, well mannered president 🥹”
And, Instagram user @_lavishlifechi added, “Very classy and well spoken …. my FOREVER president 😌”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @kissesfromkayy wrote, “Hearing his voice is comforting and reassuring 🥺🤎”
While Instagram user @spoken_highly commented, “Greatly Put Mr.President 🫡”
Finally, Instagram user @sirramoan said, “…a part of me wishes he’d be like ‘look, he knows when he sees me it’s on sight’“
The Video That Had Everyone Talking
As previously reported, the offensive clip in question crudely depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes and sparked immediate outrage across the political spectrum. Democrats, Republicans, and senior GOP members like Senator Tim Scott condemned it, with Scott calling it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” The White House initially dismissed the backlash as “fake outrage” before blaming a staffer and eventually deleting the post.

‘Selling Sunset’s Jason Oppenheim
Jessica & I Broke Up
Published
Looks like we won’t be getting a “Selling Sunset” baby any time soon … Jason Oppenheim and girlfriend Jessica Vargas have called it quits … TMZ has confirmed.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Jason and Jessica broke up about 2 weeks ago, but are actually in Hawaii for a friend’s wedding and are on good terms.
They’re so good that Jason posted a portrait of the two of them together in an Instagram story. In the post, he wrote, “We’re no longer boyfriend and girlfriend … but still love each other and still best friends.”
Jess shared the same post, writing, “Love you J & may this type of friendship find us all.”
A witness tells us the two were at the Halekulani Hotel pool Saturday, where they appeared to be good friends but showed no PDA.
Heartbreaking news considering just a couple months ago, he was telling Alex Hall on the “Pretty Dirty” podcast that he was planning on marrying Jess.
Jason’s “Selling Sunset” costar, Alanna Gold, also seemed confident the 2 would walk down the aisle. When we caught up with Alanna in December, she told us, “I’ve seen a change … just his whole demeanor when he’s around her and with her. I think it’s really cute. I hope they get married. I think it’s really good for him, and I think they bring out the best in each other.”
Jason and Jessica were together for just over a year.
Manchester Orchestra
Timothy Very Dead at 42
Published
Manchester Orchestra is reeling after the sudden death of their longtime drummer Timothy Very.
The Atlanta-based indie rock band broke the heartbreaking news Saturday, telling fans they’re struggling to process the loss of the man they called the “foundation” of their universe. In their emotional statement, the group admitted they had been “dreading sharing this news” and are still in “absolute disbelief.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Very joined Manchester Orchestra back in 2011 and went on to become the longest serving drummer in the band’s history. Over more than a decade, his thunderous playing powered some of the band’s biggest records. Offstage, the band says he was pure heart.
The group described him as the “most beloved human being” they were lucky enough to know … someone whose humor, warmth and larger than life presence held everyone together through years of touring, recording and life on the road.
So far, no cause of death has been revealed.
Beyond his career, the band emphasized that Timothy’s proudest role was being with his family, saying the only thing he loved more than music was his loved ones.
Tim was 42.
RIP.
Authorities are shedding light on a potential timeline into the ongoing investigation surrounding Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told The New York Times on Friday, February 13, that investigators are still “looking hard,” with about 400 people on the case. While he is certain that the team will find Nancy and her abductor, he noted he’s unsure of when that will happen.
“Maybe it’s an hour from now,” Nanos said of the search. “Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”
News broke on February 1 that Nancy had been reported missing by a family member who called 911. (Nancy shared daughters Savannah and Annie Guthrie and son Camron Guthrie with Charles Guthrie, who died in 1988 after a heart attack.)
The search to find Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, is “a race against time,” according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. Nanos appeared during the Tuesday, February 3, broadcast of the Today show and said he hopes “that window hasn’t closed” as the investigation into 84-year-old Nancy’s disappearance continues. “We took some samples that […]
As the search continues, multiple SWAT, forensics officers and law enforcement vehicles were spotted in Nancy’s neighborhood on Friday, according to CNN and NewsNation. CNN reported that police officers converged on two locations but did not make any arrests. Authorities did question a man about his apparent involvement, but he was ultimately released.
“We may see a couple more of these as this goes on,” CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller told the outlet, speculating the case will likely move fast since there’s a “victim in the balance.” He added, “I think we saw that again last night, but this particular lead is not going to go any further.”
A representative for the Sheriff’s department also confirmed that there had been “law enforcement activity” in the area on Friday related to Nancy’s potential kidnapping case.
“Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI, no additional information is currently available,” the statement read via X. “There is no press briefing scheduled for tonight regarding the Nancy Guthrie investigation.”
Authorities are seemingly intensifying their search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for nearly two weeks. Multiple SWAT, forensics officers and law enforcement cars were spotted in Nancy’s Tucson, Arizona, neighborhood on Friday, February 13, according to CNN and NewsNation. CNN reported that police officers converged on two locations without making […]
Savannah, meanwhile, has been absent from the Today show since her mom’s disappearance but has issued several public pleas to “bring her home.” In a February 4 Instagram video, Savannah and her siblings shared a personal message to Nancy.
“Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy,” Savannah said at the time. “We believe and know that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest.”
Annie added, “Nancy is our mother, we are her children. She is our beacon. She holds fast to joy and all of life’s circumstances. She chooses joy day after day despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief. We are always going to be merely human. Just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”
Days later, Savannah shared home videos with Nancy. “Our lovely mom. 💛,” she wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 12. “We will never give up on her. Thank you for your prayers and hope.”

![Heathrow has said passenger numbers were 60% lower in November than before the coronavirus pandemic and there were “high cancellations” among business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas for Christmas as Omicron spreads. The UK’s largest airport said the government’s travel restrictions had dealt a fresh blow to travel confidence and predicted it was likely to take several years for passenger numbers to return to pre-pandemic levels. This week ministers said passengers arriving in the UK would have to take a pre-departure Covid test, as well as a post-flight test, because of fears about the spread of the new variant. “[The] high level of cancellations by business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas because of pre-departure testing shows the potential harm to the economy of travel restrictions,” the airport said in an update. Heathrow said the drop in traveller confidence owing to the new travel restrictions had negated the benefit of reopening the all-important corridor to North America for business and holiday travel last month. Eleven African countries have been added to the government’s red list, requiring travellers to quarantine before reuniting with families. “By allowing Brits to isolate at home, ministers can make sure they are reunited with their loved ones this Christmas,” said John Holland-Kaye, the chief executive of Heathrow. “It would send a strong signal that restrictions on travel will be removed as soon as safely possible to give passengers the confidence to book for 2022, opening up thousands of new jobs for local people at Heathrow. Let’s reunite families for Christmas.” Heathrow said that if the government could safely signal that restrictions would be lifted soon, then employers at Heathrow would have the confidence to hire thousands of staff in anticipation of a boost in business next summer. The airport is expecting a slow start to 2022, finishing next year with about 45 million passengers – just over half of pre-pandemic levels. This week Tui, Europe’s largest package holiday operator, said it expected bookings for next summer to bounce back to 2019 levels. However, Heathrow said on Friday not to expect the aviation industry to recover for several years. “We do not expect that international travel will recover to 2019 levels until at least all travel restrictions (including testing) are removed from all the markets that we serve, at both ends of the route, and there is no risk of new restrictions, such as quarantine, being imposed,” the airport said.](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/shutterstock_1100012546-scaled-400x240.jpg)
