Record breaking year at Heathrow as 78m passengers travel
through in 2017
Full Year 2017
-- A record breaking 78 million passengers travelled through the
airport in 2017, up 3.1% on last year with passenger volumes driven
by larger and fuller aircraft
-- Heathrow became one of the fastest growing major European
hubs for cargo, with 1.7 million metric tonnes travelling through
the airport - equivalent to the weight of 134,000 London buses or
136 London Shards. Across the year, the key markets for cargo were
the US, East Asia, and Europe
-- The UK's only hub airport delivered outstanding customer
service in 2017, and was named both 'Best Airport in Western
Europe' for the third year running and 'Best Airport for Shopping'
for the eight year running in the Skytrax World Airport Awards
-- Heathrow's annual noise and contour report revealed that the
airport's noise footprint was at its smallest recorded level in 11
years with 15% fewer households affected by noise, as a result of
working with airlines to encourage the use of quieter aircraft.
Night time jet movements also decreased by a third (32%) in
2017
-- Key milestones were also achieved in the delivery of
Heathrow's expansion, with the airport launching its first public
planning consultation in coming days
December 2017
-- Passenger volumes continued to grow in December, with over
6.3 million passengers travelling through the airport (+2.8%). In
the run up to Christmas, 248,288 passengers flew through Heathrow
on the 22nd, making this our busiest day of the month
-- Domestic and emerging markets continued to be sources of
growth, with UK travel up 6.6% and travel to Asia up 5.5% on last
year
-- Over 143,000 metric tonnes travelled through Heathrow in
December (+7.3%), as the UK economy benefited from the end-of-year
peak around the world. The USA, Japan and Hong Kong were among the
fastest growing markets for cargo
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"Heathrow had its best year ever in 2017 helping to strengthen
the British economy as the country seeks to redefine its role in
the world. Our colleagues welcomed 78 million passengers and
supported the delivery of record volumes of British trade to
markets around the world. We're looking forward to continuing to
deliver for Britain in 2018 as we progress our expansion
plans."
