Heathrow Airport reports strong traffic performance for nine months ended September 30th

Heathrow Airport reported strong traffic performance with 55.7 million passengers using Heathrow, growth of 1.5% driven by intercontinental traffic. Revenue was up 8.2% to £1,986m and EBITDA up 12.4% to £1,172m. Heathrow reported the successful transition of 26 airlines to the new £2.5bn Terminal 2: The Queen’s Terminal. John Holland-Kaye, Chief Executive Officer of Heathrow, said: “Heathrow continues to deliver against key targets, with more passengers than ever choosing to use Heathrow and record passenger satisfaction numbers at the UK’s only hub airport. We successfully completed the transition of 26 airlines into Terminal 2: The Queen’s Terminal, with over 40,000 passengers enjoying the world class facility every day. With the Airports Commission launching its national consultation on airport capacity expansion imminently, Heathrow expansion is increasingly being seen as not only the best option to keep Britain at the heart of the global economy, but also as politically deliverable, with growing support from local communities, politicians and businesses across the UK.”
