London’s Heathrow Airport has reported a strong start to 2024, posting a near 10% year-on-year increase in passenger numbers for January.
The UK’s largest airport said it counted 6 million passengers during January; 9.4% up on the total for the same month last year.
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said: “The year has got off to a strong start, retaining Heathrow’s crown as the best UK airport. We are ready for the first passenger peak of the year, with February half term fast approaching. Whether you are travelling to ski, soak up the sun, or visit friends and family, Heathrow has you covered.”
