Heathrow saw its passenger levels near pre-pandemic volumes in May after it recorded its busiest month since March 2020.

The government is planning to increase APD from 2024-25

More than five million passengers travelled through the London airport in May (79% of 2019 levels), making it the airport’s busiest month since March 2020.

A spokesperson said 90% of passengers were through security in less than 10 minutes and no more flights were cancelled at short notice than on any normal day and Border Force "performed well".
