Heathrow Records 10% Transfer Surge in March

Heathrow Airport handled 6.6 million passengers in March, achieving year‑on‑year growth despite Middle East airspace closures.
Transfer passenger numbers rose 10% as Heathrow temporarily absorbed demand from the region, while Middle East traffic fell over 50%.
Asia‑Pacific traffic grew 31.1% (passengers) and 13.2% (movements); Africa up 23.3% and EU up 11.6% in March.
CEO Thomas Woldbye said outlook remains uncertain, but operations are unaffected by fuel or supply‑chain issues and Heathrow earned Skytrax awards.
