Heathrow Airport is gearing up for its busiest December on record. The west London hub expects more than 7.08 million passengers this month, topping last year's total, with Christmas Day alone forecast to see over 160,000 travellers pass through its four terminals.
The airport has deployed a record number of staff to handle the festive rush. It has also stockpiled one million litres of de-icing products to keep aircraft moving during winter weather.
Chief Executive Thomas Woldbye expressed confidence in the preparations. «We are fully prepared to deliver an exceptional Christmas experience, ensuring passengers enjoy the festive atmosphere across our terminals,» he said. «Millions of passengers have enjoyed exceptional levels of service across the airport this year, and those travelling through Heathrow this December can look forward to the best possible start to their journeys this holiday season.»
Record November sets the stage
The airport just recorded its busiest November ever with 6.63 million passengers, up 2.1% from the previous year. This momentum is carrying into the festive period.
Growth has been strongest in certain markets. Flights to and from the Middle East surged 15.4% year-on-year, while the Asia-Pacific region saw a 6.5% increase.
