Heathrow welcomes millions to the UK to join the royal
celebrations
-- 6.4 million passengers travelled through Heathrow in April.
There are early indications that passenger growth may be levelling
off, with recovery now stable at 93-95% of 2019 levels across each
of the first four months of this year
-- We have continued to deliver excellent passenger getaways
over Easter and the Coronation, with well over 90% of passengers
passing though security in under 10 minutes. Heathrow had a Royal
garden party theme for the Coronation, with brass bands playing
patriotic tunes, guardsmen in the terminals and free Coronation
shortbread. The ceremony was shown in full on the big screens in
Terminal 5, with passengers pausing to witness the historic
moment
-- The introduction of Loganair flights to the City of Derry and
Dundee to Sumburgh and Kirkwall, supported by our discount on
landing charges for domestic routes, increases our UK destinations
served by 50%. Continued recovery of the East Asia market is
expected with departures to 7 Chinese cities recommencing by the
end of May
-- We welcome Sustainable Aviation's roadmap, reaffirming that
aviation can grow whilst meeting the UK's legally binding
commitments to net zero carbon by 2050. We echo calls for
Government to set out a policy framework to secure Sustainable
Aviation Fuel scale up and commercial production in the UK
Heathrow CEO, John Holland-Kaye said :
"It is only 12 months since all international travel
restrictions in the UK were lifted, and we have made tremendous
progress. I am proud that colleagues across Heathrow have shown
Britain at its best for visitors arriving for the Coronation."
