Heathrow faces pedestrian congestion partly because British travellers typically keep left while many continental Europeans keep right, creating opposing flows and collisions. Terminal 5 can feel crowded when passengers position themselves according to differing directional habits rather than optimal circulation. Heathrow plans satellite terminals and a proposed third runway that could add about 40 million passengers with varied directional preferences. Around 240,000 additional flights per year would be managed by air traffic control. Heathrow expects competing international hubs to grow faster and projects a loss of market share over the next decade. The airport is accelerating sustainable aviation measures to address net-zero concerns.
