Heathrow lands best November on record
-- Heathrow welcomed a record 5.72 million passengers in
November (+2.5%) alongside a 4.4% growth in cargo volumes. Heathrow
is Britain's largest port, accounting for almost 30% of all UK
exports by value outside the EU last year
-- Cargo growth was particularly strong to fast-growing markets
in the Middle East, East Asia and Latin America (China up 10.6%,
Turkey up 10.4%, Mexico up 7.3% and Brazil up 5.6%), underlining
strengthening trade opportunities for Britain's exporters
-- Emerging market passenger growth was also strong, with
Mexico, China and the Middle East all up 8% - evidence that demand
to fly from the UK's front door remains strong
-- Larger, quieter and more efficient aircraft continued to be a
driver for growth in passenger volumes which are up 0.7%
year-to-date in 2016 as airlines deploy more and more new
generation Airbus A380s, A350s and Boeing 787s at Heathrow.
Aircraft at Heathrow in 2016 to-date are 1.3% larger than in
2015
-- Heathrow announced further investments in Britain's supply
chain in November, awarding 4-year contracts seven expert companies
who will design plans for the airport's sustainable expansion. The
new design team will help Heathrow deliver a modern, efficient and
affordable airport and includes Amec Foster Wheeler, Arup, Atkins,
Grimshaw, Mott MacDonald, Jacobs and Quod
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"With record passenger volumes and strong cargo growth in
November, Heathrow is delivering for Britain's economy.
"Since the Government's backing of a third runway, we've put a
team in place that will help us to deliver the benefits of
expansion as quickly as possible - an affordable plan that creates
more jobs, boosts exporters and builds an economy that is stronger
and fairer for everyone - and we are looking forward to the
publication of the Government's National Policy Statement early
next year."
