Making Every Journey Better

About our strategy​

​As the UK’s only hub airport and the best-connected airport in the world, Heathrow connects the UK to global growth. Our strategy focuses on a collective responsibility to create a better Heathrow, now and for the future. 

Heathrow is the UK’s international gateway, the largest airport in Europe and the most connected megahub in the world – connecting to over 230 destinations in nearly 90 countries. The airport welcomes over 82 million passengers a year and serves as Britain’s hub for tourism, investment and trade – with over 26% of the UK’s exports (by value) going through Heathrow. With over 90,000 working at Heathrow, the airport is also a hub for employment as the UK’s largest single-site employer.
