Figures for July, August and September saw the airport receive 28% of the passengers it had in 2019, with Heathrow predicting it will take “until at least 2026” for numbers to reach pre-pandemic levels.
In the first nine months of 2021, the airport saw only 10.2 million passengers, compared with 19 million in the same period in 2020. Losses increased from £1.38 billion to £1.5 billion, with revenue falling from £951 million to £695 million.
