Heathrow notches another passenger traffic record

Thursday, 13 Nov, 2024 1

London Heathrow handled more than 7.2 million passengers last month, its best ever October on record.

Fuelled by the half term holiday, it was the sixth month in a row of more than seven million passengers, which also marled a record.

Heathrow now expects to finish the year with a new record of 83.8 million passengers

Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said: “This year has been all about breaking records at Heathrow. Being home to the world’s most connected airport is a huge boost for the UK economy.”

The airport invested more than £1 billion in 2024 alone to improve infrastructure and the overall passenger experience.

This includes enhanced retail spaces, new security lanes and resurfacing runways.
