London’s Heathrow Airport has said it remains on course to outperform its 2024 results, after a strong first quarter showing.
In the first three months of 2025, Heathrow’s revenue increased by 2.1% to £825m. The higher revenue was driven by more long-haul flying, and improved property and retail income. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.5% to £454m.
While passenger numbers were down by just over 1% to 18.2 million, Heathrow said it expects overall passenger demand in 2025 to exceed 2024.
Heathrow CFO Sally Ding said: “2025 will be a pivotal year for Heathrow as we finalise our business plan for the next five years and submit our proposals to Government to unlock new capacity at the UK’s gateway to growth. Our focus on steadily improving operational performance is yielding results, and our future plans will enable us to deliver better value and more growth for our customers and the country.”
