• Heathrow served a record number of passengers in February as 5.8m people flew through the UK’s hub airport last month. • The busiest ever February half-term saw more than 2m passengers at Heathrow. Winter sun won over the ski slopes with nearly two thirds of travellers landing somewhere warmer than London. • Even before the leap year lift of 207,000 passengers on 29 February, Heathrow is on track to serve more passengers this year than ever before. Meanwhile, cargo tonnage is 21% up on 2023, outperforming European comparators and the global average of 8%. • Heathrow’s departure boards continue to offer unrivalled choice. The latest route additions include more services to the very north of the UK with Loganair, BA routes to Abu Dhabi, Kos and Izmir, a new Virgin Atlantic service to Bangalore and the return of Vueling to Barcelona and Paris (Orly), in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
