Heathrow is the UK’s international gateway, the largest airport in Europe and the most connected megahub in the world – connecting to over 230 destinations in nearly 90 countries. The airport welcomes over 82 million passengers a year and serves as Britain’s hub for tourism, investment and trade – with over 26% of the UK’s exports (by value) going through Heathrow. With over 90,000 working at Heathrow, the airport is also a hub for employment as the UK’s largest single-site employer.
We are the UK’s second largest airport and fly a range of both short and long-haul point-to-point services. We're a vital piece of UK national infrastructure and a major driver for regional and national economies. In 2019, a new long-term partnership was formed with VINCI Airports which purchased a 50.01% stake in the airport.
