More than 16.8 million passengers used Heathrow in the first three months of 2016, representing a 2.6% year-on-year increase.
Garuda Indonesia is the latest airline to move its London operations from Gatwick to Heathrow, boosting British businesses with increased ties to a fast-growing economy.
The airport reported a strong financial performance with revenue up 3.2% to £642 million and EBITDA up 7.3% to £367 million reflecting lower costs and better value.
John Holland-Kaye, chief executive officer of Heathrow, said: “It’s been a fantastic start to 2016 and Heathrow is performing strongly on all fronts. Our colleagues are delivering excellent value for our passengers – better service at a lower cost.
“At a time of uncertainty about Britain’s place in the world, families and businesses are counting on the Prime Minister to secure Britain’s long term future. An expanded Heathrow will be an economic powerhouse, a global symbol of a confident, outward looking Britain. Let’s make it happen.”
