Heathrow CEO John Holland Kaye (above) said: “I am very proud of the way that everyone at Heathrow has been working together to deliver excellent service at our busiest time of year.“
Transatlantic travel continued to drive passenger numbers, especially in the last three days of the month as travellers headed home in time for Independence Day.
More families arriving back at Heathrow from their summer holidays are set for a speedier immigration experience after Border Force announced that all children over 10 will be able to use eGates instead of queueing to see an immigration officer and children under 15 can travel free on the Heathrow Express.
