Over this period, there will be disruption to Heathrow Express and Elizabeth line services

 

Please note, the London Underground (Tube) strikes that would have affected the Piccadilly line on Wednesday 4 and Friday 6 October 2023 have now been suspended, and the Piccadilly line will be running as normal throughout this period. 

 

Passengers should plan their journeys before travelling, and allow for additional time where necessary as services will be busier than normal.

ULEZ expansion - 29 August 2023

London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, or ULEZ, is expanding to encompass all of Greater London, including Heathrow Airport, from the 29 August 2023.

 

The initiative, implemented by Transport for London (TfL), is aimed at reducing air pollution in London, therefore all vehicles entering the airport must meet certain emissions standards in order to avoid paying a daily charge.

 

The daily charge for non-compliant vehicles is £12.50 for most vehicles, including cars, vans, and motorcycles.

 

The charge will be in addition to any other fees or charges associated with entering the airport. The charge only applies when a vehicle is driven within the ULEZ zone, and does not apply to stationary vehicles including when cars are parked at Heathrow.

 

Please note, if you have booked Meet & Greet or Valet Parking with a non-compliant vehicle, and have selected a different exit terminal to your entry terminal, you will be liable for payment of a ULEZ charge to transfer your vehicle to another terminal.

Operational Update - 1 Mar 2021

Heathrow
01 Mar 2021
The following is an update on the number of flight movements we expect to see at Heathrow in March along with our plans for runway operations.

Flight movements

At the beginning of February we outlined how we expected to see between 200-395 flight movements during February, due to uncertainty over when travel restrictions and lockdown would be lifted as well as the usual daily variation that we’ve seen exacerbated through the pandemic. The lowest daily number of flights in the month was 232 (16 February) and the highest was 357 (28 February), well within our predicted range.

We are expecting flight numbers to be broadly similar in March with a range of 230-400 flight movements a day. However, these numbers could vary, especially towards the end of the month as airlines announce their schedules for the Summer Season and if current flying bans and restrictions are revised.

Runway operations

As mentioned in our previous update, on 1 January 2021 we consolidated our operations and returned to single runway operations due to the significant reduction in passenger numbers at Heathrow in addition to resourcing constraints.

At present we are not able to predict how long we will need to operate in this way, but we will continue to review this situation and will look to revert to our usual operation when the number of daily aircraft movements significantly increases. We will keep you updated to confirm when we expect to operate from both runways again.
