London Heathrow handled more than 7.2 million passengers last month, its best ever October on record.
Fuelled by the half term holiday, it was the sixth month in a row of more than seven million passengers, which also marled a record.
Heathrow now expects to finish the year with a new record of 83.8 million passengers
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said: “This year has been all about breaking records at Heathrow. Being home to the world’s most connected airport is a huge boost for the UK economy.”
The airport invested more than £1 billion in 2024 alone to improve infrastructure and the overall passenger experience.
This includes enhanced retail spaces, new security lanes and resurfacing runways.
