Heathrow has unveiled a £10bn investment plan aimed at improving service levels, reliability, and capacity growth. See plan here. The five-year plan (2027–2031) includes creating new space for lounges, restaurants, and shops, alongside enhancements to security and baggage handling.
Redevelopment of the Central Terminal Area will involve demolishing Terminal 1, extending Terminal 2, and building a new southern road tunnel. The plan aims to increase passenger capacity by 10m annually and expand cargo handling capacity by 20pc.
The investment plan will be 100pc privately financed and aims to impact local communities positively through education and skills programmes by 2030.
Thomas Woldbye shared “To compete with global hubs, we must invest. Our five-year plan boosts operational resilience and delivers the better service passengers expect. This private investment will create jobs and drive national growth during this Parliament.”
