Heathrow increases lead over EU rivals for flight connections to
the USA
-- The triple bank holiday in May, helped drive monthly
passengers at Heathrow up to 6.7 million
-- Heathrow currently has more daily flights than ever before
between the UK and USA as airlines switch capacity to North
Atlantic routes and away from European and East Asian markets,
which have been slower to recover
-- In May alone, 1.6m Heathrow passengers flew across the North
Atlantic. One in four passengers flying between the USA and Europe
in May passed through Heathrow thanks to the choice of destinations
and frequency. 248 daily flights to and from Heathrow now connect
Britain to 31 US destinations, building trade links with the UK's
most important export market. As well as having more flights to New
York than any European hub (over 30 daily departures), Heathrow is
the only hub with a direct flight to Cincinnati
-- The benefits this brings through trade and tourism
demonstrate that Heathrow remains critically important as the UK's
gateway to the world
-- Government must reinstate Tax Free Shopping to let British
businesses and the UK economy maximise the benefits from recovering
markets, instead of losing out to neighbours in France, Italy and
Spain, where visitors currently spend more than double they do
here
-- Heathrow has successfully managed eight days of strikes
during the busiest days in May, with no delays at security and no
flight cancellations thanks to a strong contingency resource. We
have been building that contingency team ahead of the summer season
and do not anticipate cancellations as a result of any future
strike action
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:
"The unrivalled choice of destinations and high frequency to
cities like New York make flights from Heathrow vital trade routes
with the USA, Britain's most important export market. We have
delivered excellent service to passengers, with no cancellations,
over eight days of strikes on the busiest days in May, and do not
anticipate cancellations as a result of strikes during the summer
holiday getaway."
