Heathrow welcomed 6.5 million passengers in October alongside a 7% surge in cargo volumes. Heathrow is Britain’s largest port, accounting for almost 30% of all UK exports by value outside the EU last year
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said: “In October, the Prime Minister sent a clear message to the world that her Government would expand Heathrow, showing that Britain is open for business and confident in its future. “With the support of communities across the UK, Heathrow is now working at pace to deliver the benefits of Britain’s new runway – an affordable plan that creates more jobs, boosts exporters and builds an economy that is stronger and fairer for everyone – as quickly as possible.” |
