Who we are

Heathrow is the UK’s international gateway and the largest airport in Europe – connecting to 239 destinations across 89 countries. The airport welcomes over 200,000 passengers on roughly 1,300 flights each day, and serves as Britain’s hub for trade, tourism and investment. Over 80,000 colleagues work at Heathrow – the airport directly employs about 10% of them, with the rest working for Team Heathrow partners including airlines, ground handlers and retailers.

Our vision: To be an extraordinary airport, fit for the future

Every day at Heathrow extraordinary things happen. What this means to our colleagues, customers, communities and shareholders is different for everyone, but all equally important. We want to ensure we are fit for the future by being resilient and efficient, by growing our capacity, by running a strong operation and providing excellent service.
