Heathrow traffic and business commentary September 2015
-- A record 6.77 million passengers (+2.9% on September 2014)
travelled through Heathrow on 40,292 flights in September 2015,
making it the busiest September on record for passenger volumes
-- Larger, quieter aircraft continued to be a driver for
passenger growth at Heathrow. Seats per aircraft increased 2.0% to
208.9 while passengers per aircraft rose 1.2% to 167.9
-- Within emerging markets, passenger volumes were particularly
strong to Mexico which was up 16.5%, China up 11.9% and to the
Middle East which was up 7.2% as carriers continue to benefit from
new A380s
-- Cargo volumes at Heathrow, the UK's biggest port by value,
grew 1.4% over the past 12 months, with increases to notable
emerging markets including 36% to Mexico, 25% to Turkey, 13% to
Brazil and 5% to India
-- Heathrow expansion would supercharge the Government's plans
for the Northern Powerhouse, new independent analysis of Airports
Commission data has revealed. With 95,000 new jobs in the
manufacturing sector - 85% of which would be created outside of
London and the South East - Heathrow expansion will be a driving
force in rebalancing the UK's economy by creating more export links
to fast-growing markets
-- A new graphic using independent data from air quality
monitors run by the Government and local councils shows how road
vehicles, not emissions from airport operations, are the biggest
contributor to air pollution in London. New analysis by DEFRA has
confirmed that the M4 near Heathrow will meet EU air quality
standards by 2020 as a result of actions taken by us and others
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"With Heathrow expansion, we have a once in a generation
opportunity to create 180,000 jobs and provide future generations
with the sustainable infrastructure they'll need to keep Britain at
the heart of the global economy. The Chancellor called for Britain
to build the new roads, railways and runways it needs to prosper.
Heathrow is ready to build - let's make it happen."
