The airport said 268,000 passengers travelled through its terminals on June 30.
Heathrow has experienced its busiest ever day for passengers numbers.It recorded a daily total in excess of 260,000 passengers five times during the month, including on consecutive days on June 23 and 24.
Heathrow said it has more than 90,000 staff working at the airport – more than ever before – including a “baggage resilience team” and hundreds of “helpers” to assist passengers.This meant many travellers on departing flights did not have their checked-in luggage put on the plane, while some of those on arriving flights faced long delays to retrieve their baggage.
“I want to thank all my colleagues who went the extra mile to make sure the 268,000 passengers travelling on the busiest day had a smooth, stress-free journey.”Meanwhile, a regulator has reduced the amount Heathrow can charge airlines for using the airport until the end of 2026.
