Heathrow airport makes no secret of its willingness to invest. The management of the London hub regularly repeats that it is determined to take LHR into a new era. This time, it is an investment of £1.3 billion (€1.49 billion), which will be released this year with several ambitions. Starting with the launch of the refurbishment of T4, with a new multi-storey car park and a modernised check-in area. The work is due to be completed by 2031, and is not expected to affect the operation of the terminal.
Improvements to the London hub will also include the construction of a new baggage system for T2, and improved accessibility to the hub. These projects are all part of the " Heathrow's strategy to become an extraordinary airport, ready for the future "in the words of management.
These good resolutions can clearly be based on sound foundations. Heathrow airport claims to have had a record year in 2025. " Passengers should expect that every time they travel through Heathrow, their journey will be better than the last. "says Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye. Last December we said we would invest in operational performance and this year we are the most punctual hub in Europe, nearly 99 % of baggage travelled on scheduled flights and 97 % of security wait times were under 5 minutes, and in January all passengers in all four terminals will benefit from passing through the new next generation security. I am delighted to unveil next year's programme which will make Heathrow friendlier, more efficient and more resilient for our customers. This investment will flow directly into our national supply chain, helping to drive economic growth while making Heathrow even better and more efficient for our customers. "adds Thomas Woldbye.
