The London hub reported on Wednesday (26 July) that more than 37 million passengers passed through its gates during the six months to 30 June, up 42.1% on last year’s levels, while load factor went up by 6% to 77.3%.
“The summer getaway has got off to a great start, thanks to planning and close collaboration with airlines and ground handlers,” said outgoing chief executive John Holland-Kaye, who added staffing levels had returned to pre-pandemic levels.
