Heathrow delivers smooth service during busiest Christmas
getaway since 2019
-- Christmas and New Year reunions fuelled passenger growth
during December, with more than 5.9 million passengers travelling
in the month - up 90% compared with the same time last year
-- Transatlantic travel was a key driver behind last month's
high passenger volumes, with JFK clinching the top spot as the
airport's busiest route
-- Forward planning and close collaboration with airport
partners ensured we provided a smooth and efficient service to
travellers throughout the festive period. 92% of passengers passed
through security in under 10 minutes during the Christmas peak,
service for passengers with reduced mobility improved and arriving
travellers reported a friendly and efficient journey through
immigration in spite of industrial action
-- In total, Heathrow welcomed 61.6 million passengers (76% of
2019 levels) during 2022 - 42.2 million higher than in 2021. This
is the highest passenger increase of any airport in Europe, and
possibly worldwide
-- Providing excellent service remains our key priority for
2023, as the aviation industry rebuilds capacity and resilience
-- We are concerned that the recovery of the aviation sector,
which is critical to the economy, could be set back by the
reintroduction of testing for travellers in the UK and elsewhere in
response to increasing COVID levels in China, even though
governments acknowledge there is no scientific basis for doing
so
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"2022 ended on a high with our busiest Christmas in three years
and a smooth and efficient service for passengers, thanks to the
hard work of our colleagues and close planning with airlines, their
ground handlers and Border Force."
