No US flights are carrying passengers period
El-AL are operating a very ad-hoc service primarily freight however there is some traffic (Israelis ) back to Tel- Aviv - subject to very strict 14 day self isolation on entry
THY- Turkish are ALL freight on passenger aircraft
And lets just get real an airport the size and importance of Heathrow to the national economy 15,000 is an exceptionally small amount - To use metaphor it equates to somewhere like Liverpools typical traffic levels.
BA are operating plenty of flights with pax onborad, not just EU, albeit the numbers are limited.
US carriers are also carrying fare paying pax, but of course only US Citizens or alien residents due current legislation.
All US carriers are currently selling seats for their UK flights, albeit limited and costly in some cases.
15K is a small amount but the 'public' seem to be under some misapprehension that flights have stopped altogether.
