Heathrow sees exceptional double-digit trade growth with key
emerging markets in November
-- Heathrow experienced an especially strong November, the
13(th) consecutive record-breaking month for the airport. The UK's
hub airport welcomed 5.9 million passengers, with growth up 3.5% on
last November
-- Latin America was the fastest growing market as new British
Airways flights to Santiago in Chile and increased load factors on
Aeromexico flights also pushed up growth 10%. Asia was close
behind, growing 8% following the start of a daily morning 787
Dreamliner service by Japan Airlines and additional flights by Jet
Airways to Mumbai and China Southern to Guangzhou
-- UK destinations continued to record healthy growth, up nearly
5% in November helped by Heathrow's GBP10 discount on domestic
passenger charges
-- Cargo volumes through Heathrow grew a remarkable 12% in
November, with more than 154,000 metric tonnes travelling through
the UK's hub in the lead-up to Christmas. This was the 16(th)
consecutive month of cargo growth at the UK's biggest port as trade
with Asia, North America, Latin America and the Middle East all
grew more than 10%
-- With recently upgraded cargo facilities, American Airlines
continues to record some of the fastest growth in cargo at Heathrow
as volumes increased an additional 21% in November and helped to
make the United States the top country for cargo growth
-- Heathrow's noise footprint has shrunk to its smallest level
since records started in 2006, as new independent analysis from the
CAA revealed 52,000 fewer household are impacted by aircraft
noise
-- Progress on Heathrow's expansion plans continues, as the
newly formed Transport Select Committee began taking oral evidence
on the Airports National Policy Statement
