London Heathrow records highest passenger mark with 7.6 million passengers, since pandemic

A total of 7.6 million travellers passed through Heathrow airport in July, crossing the threshold of the highest monthly figure since summer 2019. The figure was up 21% as compared to July 2022, and represented the fifth highest monthly passenger numbers recorded at the airport, beaten only by the months of July and August in 2018 and 2019. “The poor weather in Britain during July resulted in particularly strong numbers for summer sun destinations including Turkey, which reported a record 73,000 passengers last month. Departures to Gibraltar, Portugal and Italy were also close to record levels,” the airport said in
