London Heathrow Airport released its operational data for March 2025, revealing a decrease in passenger traffic compared to the same month last year. Despite a challenging month marked by planned variations in holiday dates and an unexpected day-long closure due to a power outage, the airport managed to handle more than six million passengers.
The total number of travelers through Heathrow Airport last month was 6.22 million, reflecting a 7.5% decrease from March 2024. For the three-month period from January to March, the passenger count fell slightly to 18.25 million, a 1.5% drop. On an annual basis, however, the figures showed a positive trend, with 83.59 million passengers using the airport from April 2024 to March 2025, representing a 3.5% year-on-year increase.
Thomas Woldbye, the CEO of London Heathrow Airport, remarked on this performance: "It’s great to see strong demand to travel through Heathrow. Whilst passenger numbers were slightly down due to changing holidays this year, belly-hold cargo on passenger flights was a bright spot, growing 4% and underlining the importance of Heathrow as the UK’s gateway to growth. We are still on track to see another record year in 2025, and colleagues are working hard preparing for a busy Easter and May Bank Holiday getaway."
