About Heathrow

Heathrow

Heathrow is a major international airport located in London, United Kingdom. It is the third busiest airport in the world after Dubai and Hong Kong International. It is also the busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic. It is the sixth busiest airport in the world due to the total passenger traffic. It handled around 75.7 million passengers in 2016.

Heathrow is located 23 km west of Central London. It has two parallel east-west runways along with four operation terminals that cover 12.27 sq km. Heathrow Airport Holdings own and operate this airport. Heathrow Airport Holdings is itself owned by FGP Topco Limited which is an international consortium. FGP Topco Limited also includes Qatar Holding LLC, Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, China Investment Corporation and Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). For Virgin Atlantic and British Airways, Heathrow is a primary operating base.

In 2012 September, UK government created Airports Commission which is an independent commission headed by Sir Howard Davies. It examines options for enhancing the capacity of UK airports. In 2015 July, Commission backed the third runway at Heathrow, and the government approved it in October 2016 as the third track.

History

Even after the success of Terminal 5 designed by Richard Rogers, it seemed that airport is losing its lustre. Flyers looked at regular building work because Heathrow operated at full capacity. Just a small problem was enough to seize whole Heathrow machine. Airport suffered indignity because they were not able to remove snow off runways and it halted.

Later terminals one and two being replaced with Swish New Hub for five airlines of Star Alliance. Heathrow is still a major airport in the world with 180 routes. Than any other British Airport, Heathrow has many more exciting destinations. Heathrow Airport offers a journey to incredible lands and also reuniting long lost loved ones with their loved ones. Heathrow will forever be an icon of modernity. Heathrow also shows modern Britain’s successes and failures.

World Business Centre Heathrow comprises of two buildings; one is World Business Centre Houses, Heathrow Airport and Scandinavian Airlines.

Along with it, Heathrow’s Car rental agencies are located and also a bath road that runs parallel to it but outside the campus of the airport. It is given the nickname ‘ The Strip’ by local due to its continuous line of airport hotels.
