    Baggage

    Our story

    On a normal day, our Team Heathrow Baggage colleagues handle 6.5 tonnes in baggage, and are ready to process up to an astonishing 1​​1,500 bags per hour, across conveyor belts longer than the length of ​40 runways. Over 2.8 million bags travel through our airport during the Christmas period. Our baggage system is a big and intricate structure that ensures all bags arrive safely to destination, on time. It takes skills and intelligence, as well as a good measure of creative thinking, to make sure that all our passengers travel happily, on time, with their bags.

    What we are looking for

    We have achieved a 99% baggage loading rate, and we need great people to maintain this phenomenal quality of service. We look for people with a mix of data analysis skills, real passion for innovation and the ability to work collaboratively with our partners to ensure a great passenger service. You don’t always need to have had experience in airports or in a baggage system to be part of our team.
