Heathrow gears up for holiday season as UK's hub climbs to
world's 4 (th) busiest airport
-- A busy October with nearly 7 million passengers has helped to
prepare us for the peak season of festive travel ahead, with the
strong demand to fly from Heathrow propelling the UK's hub airport
to the 4 (th) largest globally
-- 2.2 million passengers passed through our terminals during
the October half-term, with Dubai, New York and Los Angeles proving
popular this year. Team Heathrow colleagues provided great service,
keeping the airport moving, despite weeks of heavy rain and two
named storms
-- After reopening its borders, Hong Kong became our 12 (th)
"millionaire route" for the year, surpassing 1 million passengers
and following in the footsteps of Doha, JFK and Delhi among
others
-- Sun-seekers looking to book a winter getaway have even more
choice this year with 11 new airline routes just starting at
Heathrow, including the UK's only direct connection to Peru and
more flights to ski destinations globally than any other UK
airport, with the airport now serving 239 destinations in 89
countries
-- Heathrow has begun preparations for the upcoming holiday
peaks and will be launching a range of retail offerings in the
coming weeks, including opportunities to win Christmas vouchers for
retailers such as Watches for Switzerland, inMotion, Rituals and
World Duty Free, alongside our Christmas ad campaign which depicts
festive travel stories highlighting the significance of travelling
to see loved ones during the holidays
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said:
"I've learned a lot about Heathrow in my first few weeks, but
one thing that really stands out to me is the passion and drive of
colleagues to get people away smoothly on their journeys. We look
forward to welcoming passengers from across the world over the
upcoming festive season with a friendly face to lend a helping
hand. If your journey sees you travelling through Heathrow we've
got you covered, from attractive shops to meet your gifting needs
to restaurants for all the family, we will ensure a seamless start
to your holiday plans."
