London’s Heathrow Airport saw 39.9 million passengers travel through its five terminals during the first half of this year, up slightly on the same period last year and despite mounting macroeconomic uncertainly and geopolitical unrest.
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said: “We are delivering on our vision to become an extraordinary airport, fit for the future. We are welcoming record passenger numbers and improving the services that matter most. Our new five-year investment plan will mean faster, more reliable journeys, more on-time flights and unlock room to grow – all while delivering better value for customers. We will soon submit our long-term expansion plans to the Government, providing the UK with the opportunity to stay competitive, boost jobs and drive nationwide growth. Heathrow has an exciting future ahead and we are ready to get going.”
