Heathrow Airport set a new monthly record for passenger numbers in August, with nearly eight million travelers. The peak day saw 269,000 passengers on August 18.
CEO Thomas Woldbye expressed gratitude towards the airport staff for their dedication, saying, 'Preparation and dedication to delivering an extraordinary getaway for more passengers than ever before' were key during this record-breaking summer.
Heathrow is on track to serve 30 million passengers from June to September this year, marking the highest totals recorded for that period in the airport's history.
The increased numbers were also attributed to popular holiday destinations like Spain, Greece, Italy, and Turkey, alongside Taylor Swift's concerts bringing in an additional 40,000 fans.
