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 - 13 May 2021

Heathrow
13 May 2021
The following provides an update on the number of flight movements we expect to see at Heathrow in May along with our runway operations plans.

We apologise for the delay in publishing this update. We wanted to provide as accurate a forecast as possible following the Government’s travel update last week - detailing the new traffic light system in which 12 countries have been placed on the ‘green list’ when international travel restrictions are lifted from 17 May.

Flight movements

Last month we outlined how we expected to see between 260-440 flight movements during April, amid continued uncertainty over when travel restrictions would be lifted. The lowest daily number of flights in the month was 292 (13 April) and the highest was 404 (11 April), well within our predicted range.

We are expecting flight numbers in May to be between 280-550 flight movements a day, with a wide range due to the easing of lockdown rules and the approach of half term at the end of the month.

Runway operations

As mentioned in previous updates, on 1 January 2021 we consolidated our operations and returned to single runway operations. 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, particularly when the traffic light system is reviewed again by Government in June. We will keep you updated to confirm when we expect to operate from both runways again.
