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.

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.
