The ExpressTest site in Heathrow N4 car park has 24 lanes for drive-through testing and will be open year-round.
ExpressTest, which operates similar facilities at Gatwick and other UK airports, claims the facility at Heathrow is the country’s largest.
It will eventually have two on-site laboratories, which will be able to process in excess of 5,000 tests a day.
PCR tests cost £80 for Heathrow passengers, £60 for Heathrow staff, and £99 for the general public. Results are typically returned the following day.
