What It's Good For

Obviously, given its size, the choice of airlines and destinations at Heathrow is extensive. A total of ninety airlines fly customers to more 186 locations. It also accounts for around a quarter of a million jobs in the UK.

Main Attractions

Evidently, the last thing you will be doing in an airport is sightseeing. However, Terminal Five, opened in 2008, is noteworthy for the many mishaps and perceived bungling that surrounded the first two weeks of its operation.

What It's Famous For

Throughout the noughties, Heathrow held a steady position as the third busiest airport in the world, jumping to second with the opening of Terminal Five. However, the 2010 volcanic ash clouds emanating from Iceland have seen Heathrow suffer a fall in the rankings, sinking to fourth.

Fascinating Fact

Heathrow may not be the world's busiest in terms of total traffic, but it can boast the highest volume of international passengers.

More About Heathrow Airport
By far the UK's busiest airport, Heathrow is also the busiest in the whole of Europe, with some 67.7 million passengers passing through London every year. In 2010, 35% of these were business travellers, many of whom based themselves in the selection of Heathrow Airport hotels.

The rise of Heathrow Airport

Heathrow really began to thrive following the end of World War II, and in 1955 the Queen opened the brand new Central Terminal Area. These days, the airport boasts five terminals, the fifth opening in 2008. Despite the initial problems which marred its opening, today Terminal 5 is one of the finest airport facilities in the world. Around 180,000 passengers come through the airport in a single day, and are served by over 76,000 staff. If you want even more information about the airport, have a look at their Youtube channel.
