Heathrow
11 September 2023
Heathrow delivers a super summer getaway for millions
-- 7.5m passengers travelled through Heathrow in August, as we
became the London airport of choice for passengers wanting a smooth
journey this summer
-- Passengers checked in more bags than ever before, and our
baggage support team went the extra mile to help airline handlers
get bags away on time
-- Passenger satisfaction was higher than pre-pandemic,
reflecting the investment the airport, airlines and their ground
handlers have made in recruiting and training over 25,000 new
colleagues in the last two years. This extra resilience meant that
while flights at Heathrow were impacted by the UK-wide air traffic
restrictions in August, operations quickly returned to normal
-- Security wait times averaged only 1.5 minutes in August.
Passengers used the extra time in the airport to stock up on food
as Pret A Manger sold nearly 1m sandwiches this summer. Others
indulged in retail therapy to get 'beach ready', with a pair of
sunglasses sold every two minutes
-- Passengers and the UK's supply chain have a growing list of
destinations to choose from. With travel restrictions lifted,
Heathrow now has more flights to more destinations in China than
any other European hub. LATAM has confirmed the UK's only direct
service to Peru will take off from Heathrow on 1 December
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"I am very proud of the way colleagues across Team Heathrow made
sure that passengers had a super start to their summer holidays,
with record levels of passenger satisfaction and average security
queue times of less than two minutes - Heathrow is back to its
best."
Note to editors: All percentages indicate change against same
period 12 months previous. Next month's passenger traffic is
expected to exceed pre-covid levels in a year-to-year monthly
comparison. This is a result of industrial action in 2019 which
dampened demand. Annual figures will remain below pre-pandemic
levels.
