The airport announced on Thursday (26 October) it had a strong balance sheet after welcoming 59 million passengers over the last nine months, of which 29 million were registered during the summer period.

 

This was a 34% increase compared to the previous year, which led to Heathrow cutting its losses by 95.7% to £19 million. 

 

The airport has also reclaimed its crown as “the most connected airport in the world”, giving a boost to the UK’s growth with connections to more than 214 destinations.
