Flying start to 2018 as Heathrow reports busiest January
ever

airport welcomed 5.8 million passengers in January
-- Passenger volumes were up 1.1% on 2017 and January marked the
15(th) consecutive record month for Heathrow
-- Domestic flights were a key driver of growth, with UK flights
up 6.9% in the first month of 2018, following the increased uptake
of Flybe's offering. South Asia and Latin America also saw
remarkable growth, up 11.3% and 6.9% respectively
-- Freight travelling through Heathrow reached record levels for
the start of the year, as over 133,000 tonnes made its way through
the airport in January, with export volumes growing by 10.6%
-- The top destinations for cargo growth were the US (1,214t),
Spain (1,070t) and China (966t)
-- Heathrow launched one of the largest public planning
consultations in the country's history - the next milestone in the
airport's plans for expansion. The 10-week consultation offers the
public the opportunity to shape the airport's plans, enabling
Heathrow to deliver the benefits of expansion while the keeping
commitments made to local communities
-- As the Prime Minister set off for a trade mission to China in
January, research carried out by New Frontier Economics revealed
that direct flights from Heathrow to China contribute GBP510
million per year in GDP to the UK economy and create 14,550 jobs.
An additional flight a week on each existing connection,
facilitated through Heathrow's expansion, could generate an
additional GBP16m to GDP
-- Flybe took the top spot in the latest 'Fly Quiet and Green
league table' which ranks airlines at Heathrow based on their noise
and emissions performance. The regional airline worked with
Heathrow to increase its use of Continuous Decent Approaches into
the airport, reducing aircraft noise for local communities
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"Heathrow is off to a flying start, with record passenger
numbers and cargo volumes and the start of our public consultation
on the third runway. Heathrow expansion will provide the global
trading routes to super-charge Britain's economy as we leave the
EU."
