Airports handled record passenger numbers in July, underlining the need for urgent expansion in the south east.
Heathrow recorded the most passengers so far in one day on July 31, when 254,375 people travelled through.

Gatwick recorded its busiest July with 4.3 million passengers, a 6.4% increase on last year.
An additional 260,000 passengers used the airport compared with the same month in 2014, mainly due to an increase in long-haul flights and larger aircraft.
Luton Airport recorded 1.3 million passengers in July, a 16% year-on-year increase.
Chief executive Nick Barton said: "We are on track for a record-breaking summer. The continuing growth in passenger numbers makes our £100 million redevelopment project essential to the role LLA plays in easing capacity issues in the south east of England."
Stansted recorded a total of 2.19 million passengers, making July 2015 the busiest July since 2008.
The figure was up 12.5% on the same month last year, representing an increase of more than 240,000 passengers.
