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 - 6 Apr 2021

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

Flight movements

At the beginning of March we outlined how we expected to see between 230-400 flight movements during March, amid continued uncertainty over when travel restrictions and lockdown would be lifted. The lowest daily number of flights in the month was 261 (9 March) and the highest was 390 (28 March), well within our predicted range.

We are expecting flight numbers in April to be between 260-440 flight movements a day, with a wide range similar to previous months due to daily variations and continued uncertainty over travel restrictions.

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.
