Heathrow getting back to its best
-- Over 5.4 million passengers travelled through Heathrow in
January, the busiest start of the year since 2020
-- Overall passenger satisfaction is now at or above
pre-pandemic levels. In January, 98% of passengers waited less than
10 minutes for security and we are delighted to once again be named
Travel Weekly's Best UK Airport
-- Border Force successfully managed recent strike action and
are trialling the use of eGates for children aged 10 and 11 in
Terminal 5 over half term. We are fully supportive of Border
Force's aspirations to expand the use of eGates to more families
and visa holders, assisting with smooth and seamless journeys
-- We welcome the announcement by British Airways and Virgin
Atlantic on restarting ticket sales to China, reopening a key
market for British exports once more. Following the pandemic, we
have worked tirelessly alongside our airline partners to rebuild
the world-class connectivity Heathrow offers to our passengers and
cargo
-- The half term getaway has been going very well. Like all peak
periods, our management teams are out in the terminals supporting
our operational colleagues and helping passengers get on their
way
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"Heathrow is back to its best, with passenger satisfaction
scores meeting or exceeding 2019 levels. We are giving a warm
welcome to families over the half term getaway by delivering
excellent service and bringing back the magic of travel."
