Heathrow's passenger numbers were down slightly, falling 1.5% to 5.7 million passengers in February 2025 compared to the same period a year prior.
However, consolidated January and February figures totalled 12 million, increasing 2% compared to the same period a year prior.
Air transport movements were down 1.1% in the month to 35,806, while January and February movements were up 1.8% to 74,505.
“Even during a traditionally quiet month for aviation in February, we saw sustained and growing demand to fly and export through Heathrow,” said Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye. “As the UK’s gateway to growth, we must meet this increase in demand and do it without compromising our strategy to decarbonise and reduce noise impacts. While we welcome the progress that’s been achieved alongside our partners, there’s no complacency – reaching net zero as we grow remains vital.”
Cargo metric tonnes were down 2.9% in February. Year to date, cargo was down 1.1% compared to the same period a year prior.
