In a sign of the recovery of UK aviation, nearly 6 million passengers travelled through Heathrow in June, totalling 25 million passengers in the first six months of the year. Unprecedented growth in passenger numbers over the last four months matches what took place over the last 40 years.

Etihad Airways has confirmed it will return to London Heathrow’s Terminal 4 from 22 June 2022.

Heathrow’s Terminal 4 will reopen to travellers on 14 June for the first time in over 2 years as part of our long-standing plan to ramp up airport capacity ahead of the summer. Qatar Airways will be the first to move, followed by around 30 airlines over the following month.

Heathrow and Lord Blunkett have renewed their commitment to supporting the community with the updated Heathrow Local Recovery Plan. The UK’s hub airport wants to share the benefits of aviation’s recovery with its neighbours through jobs, skills development, and education for the next generation. Reducing the airport’s carbon footprint and the negative impacts for local communities are also central to Heathrow’s sustainability strategy for building back better post-pandemic

Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd has today announced that Mark Brooker joined the airport’s Board as a Non-Executive Director in April. Mr Brooker brings a wealth of digital, financial and transport expertise to the Board as the airport gears up for growth, post-pandemic.

Those travelling through Heathrow will no longer be required to wear a face mask after the airport announced that it is moving away from a mandate from tomorrow.
