Heathrow
11 November 2022
Heathrow is ready for biggest Christmas in three years
-- We have served 5.9m passengers in October, 84% of 2019
levels. Year to date we have served 50m passengers, 74% of 2019
levels. The leisure market has been buoyant thanks to the half term
getaway, with our busiest day since July, and we are also seeing
the gradual return of business travellers too. Strong recovery in
the Middle East and Central Asia seen in October is expected to
continue into November
-- The increase in passenger numbers this year is higher than at
any other airport in Europe. Companies across Heathrow have done an
incredible job in recruiting and training around 16,000 colleagues
over the last 12 months, which is keeping capacity and demand in
balance. At current rates of recruitment, we are on track to get
back to pre-pandemic employment levels before the peak summer
holiday period in 2023
-- Passenger service levels have been steadily improving, and we
are honoured to have been named the 'best airport in Europe' by
Business Traveller magazine. We are planning investments of over
GBP4bn in the next few years which will make the journey through
Heathrow even better, including new security lanes which will allow
passengers to leave laptops and liquids in their bags, and a new
baggage system for Terminal 2, subject to a regulatory settlement
that supports investment
-- We have been working with airlines and their ground handlers
to prepare for the Christmas peak, and have a good plan, which will
not require any capacity cap. We are aware of potential strike
action at a number of organisations, including a national Border
Force strike. We are supporting organisations on contingency plans
to minimise any impact, and encourage all parties to put the
interests of passengers first
-- We are delighted to welcome new airlines such as Loganair and
India's Vistara, which strengthen Heathrow's role in connecting all
of Britain to the growing markets of the world. We are proposing
changes to our landing charges for 2023 which will support more
connections to the UK's regions and nations
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"We have come so far since Omicron grounded Christmas travel
plans last year. Heathrow, our airline partners and their handlers
are all working together to make sure everyone can be reunited with
their loved ones this Christmas."
