Heathrow passenger traffic growth ‘levelling off’
Heathrow Airport says the steady growth of passenger traffic has started to wane.
It believes the return of passengers in recent months may already be levelling off.
Numbers have been climbing at a steady rate in recent months but says it may not overtake pre-pandemic levels.
“There are early indications that passenger growth may be levelling off, with recovery now stable at 93 to 95% of 2019 levels,” the airport said.
Heathrow announced another loss in the first quarter, which is blamed on too low fees set by the CAA.
Around 6.4 million passengers travelled through Heathrow in April, or 94% of the total for the same month in 2019.
Despite strikes by security personnel, Heathrow ‘continued to deliver excellent passenger getaways’ at Easter and the coronation.
“It is only 12 months since all international travel restrictions in the UK were lifted, and we have made tremendous progress,” outgoing airport CEO John Holland-Kaye said.
