Heathrow suffers 95% drop in passengers in June

Heathrow’s passenger numbers were down 95% year-on-year in June, with just 350,000 people travelling through the airport.

Its North America and Africa markets saw the biggest declines, according to Heathrow.

Across all destinations, the number of flights was down 82% as demand for travel remained low due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Demand for inbound travel was “immediately” hit when the Government’s quarantine policy came into force on June 8.

Total passenger numbers for the first half of the year were 60% down on the same period in 2019.
