Britain’s busiest airport, London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) has recorded its busiest-ever year in 2024 with 83.9 million passengers passing through its terminals which is around 4.7 million more than last year and 3 million more than that last pre-pandemic year of 2019.
Not resting on its laurels, though, the airport expects 2025 to be even busier, with forecasts showing that up to 84.2 million passengers could use the airport.
Heathrow chief executive Thomas Woldbye said: “I’m proud of all my colleagues and our partners who worked so hard to deliver great experiences for more passengers than ever before.
“In 2025, our journey towards better value for our customers will continue by investing in the kind of facilities our passengers and airlines are looking for.”
The record figures come as Heathrow Airport is investing around £1bn in enhancing the airport and making it fit for the future.
