London Heathrow Airport has become the first major European hub to welcome more than eight million passengers in a single month. But while August marked a historic surge in traffic, the UK’s busiest airport says the passenger experience has never been smoother.
Despite record-breaking numbers, Heathrow reports that 96 per cent of travellers cleared security in under five minutes, up from about 92 per cent in 2023 and 69.4 per cent in 2022.
