flag Heathrow Airport hit record February passenger numbers but faces growth limits due to full runways, risking its status as Europe’s busiest airport.

flag Heathrow Airport reported its busiest February on record with 5.8 million passengers, a 110,000 increase from last year, driven by a busy school half-term and Chinese New Year travel. flag The airport saw a 1.9% passenger rise, attributed to fuller and larger aircraft, but warned its two runways are at full capacity, limiting growth. flag This has caused Heathrow to fall behind Europe’s 4.6% average growth and lose its title as the continent’s busiest airport to Istanbul. flag The airport stressed the need for a third runway to remain competitive and is working with airlines to manage flight demand amid Middle East tensions. flag CEO Thomas Woldbye affirmed Heathrow’s commitment to service and operational resilience.
