Operational update - May 2022

The following provides an update on the number of flight movements we expect to see at Heathrow during May.

Last month we outlined how we expected between 1030-1250 flight movements a day during April, showing an increase over the previous month due to the start of the summer season and a broad range as a result of the Easter holidays and continued daily variation. The lowest daily number of flights in the month was 1011 (1 April) and the highest was 1157 (19 April), slightly lower than our predicted range.

Our forecast for May is between 1000-1250 flight movements a day, with a wide range as uncertainty is expected to continue along with significant daily variation.
