Thanksgiving and Diwali celebrations deliver Heathrow a November
passenger boost
-- 6.1 million passengers travelled through Heathrow during
November, swapping frosty mornings for winter sun and reuniting
with friends and family to spend holiday festivities together
-- Traffic to North America peaked ahead of Thanksgiving with
over 50,000 passengers flying across the Atlantic from Heathrow on
the Friday before the holiday. Similarly, departures to India
proved popular as passengers took advantage of the 15 daily flights
to India that Heathrow serves to celebrate Diwali with their loved
ones
-- While around 220 flights depart or arrive from the USA to
Heathrow every day, one particular flight in November made history.
On 28 November, the first 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel powered
transatlantic flight departed Heathrow to New York, a pioneering
moment for the UK aviation industry, which has its sights firmly
set on achieving net zero by 2050
-- Toronto, Singapore and Chicago all joined the 'millionaire'
club in November with over a million passengers travelling on those
routes so far in 2023. Lisbon, San Francisco and Edinburgh are all
in the running to achieve this same milestone, an accolade set to
be reached by over 20 routes operating at Heathrow by the end of
the year
-- A strong December is forecast with departure numbers
predicted to peak in the week before Christmas Day. With 47
Christmas trees adorning the terminals, local choirs carolling and
a festive ballet performance welcoming arriving passengers,
Heathrow has got the festive season off to the best start
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said:
"For so many, holidays and cultural festivities are all about
spending quality time with friends and family. Last month saw
passengers travelling to celebrate Thanksgiving and Diwali with
their loved ones, and we are making final preparations for the
Christmas getaway. We need to protect these benefits of aviation in
a world without carbon, which the history making 100% SAF
transatlantic flight proved is possible. Now we need collaboration
between Industry and Government who both have critical deliveries,
to scale up SAF production to make 100% SAF flights an everyday
reality."
