Heathrow has capitalised on the UK’s poor weather, as 7.6 million people travelled through the airport in July in search of some summer sun.
Following fresh discussions, Paris-based Ardian has entered a new agreement to buy a 22.6% stake of TopCo from Ferrovial (Credit: Heathrow airport)
But even though this represents a 21.4% increase on last year, passenger numbers still lag behind pre-Covid levels.
The airport reported on Friday (11 August) that Turkey has seen the highest level of departures in a month, while flights to Gibraltar, Portugal and Italy have also been close to record levels.
Other popular destinations included New York, as passengers took advantage of the 31 daily flights to and from the Big Apple.
