Heathrow has revealed it regained its status as Europe's busiest hub airport over the summer. Some 5.8 million passengers travelled through Heathrow in September.
A year ago, Heathrow warned it had gone from being Europe's busiest airport in 2019 to number 10 on the list, behind rivals in cities such as Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt. It blamed its fall in the rankings on the UK's coronavirus travel rules.
Restrictions were lifted in March, and Heathrow said it recorded more passengers than other European hub airports between July and September. But demand last month was still 15% below pre-virus levels in September 2019.
