Did you know Heathrow is the UK's largest port by value? ✈️ 📦 Last year Heathrow processed almost £200 billion worth of cargo, more than Felixstowe, Southampton and the Eurotunnel combined. As the country's only hub airport, Heathrow plays a vital role ensuring exporters from across all four nations can get their world-class goods into global marketplaces. From sole traders to large multinationals, Heathrow's access to 200 destinations helps deliver trade and investment for the UK. #Heathrow #Cargo #Airport #Ports

It’s great to see the formal announcement of a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate from 2025 and the introduction of a SAF revenue certainty mechanism. We're committed to working with Government and industry to support this new legislation - by joining forces we have the capability to make the UK a a global SAF leader! 🌱🛫🇬🇧

It is fantastic to see our Team Heathrow partner NATS unveiling new technology to support our 'People and Planet' goals. By improving the efficiency of arriving flights, a small but important step is being taken to reduce 'in the air' emissions. Kelly Stone MBE, Heathrow's Head of Airport Operations comments on Heathrow's long long-standing partnership with NATS, crediting their ambition and commitment to bringing world-first technology to the airport. https://lnkd.in/dCyKExyv #aviation #heathrow #NATS

Heathrow is the UK's only hub airport, this means we're able to offer unparalleled connectivity by pooling regional demand from local passengers, international transfer passengers and freight. This hub model makes Heathrow the world’s best-connected airport and is why Heathrow is able to connect the UK with 200 destinations. These connections help attract and enable inward investment to all parts of the country. So whether it's supporting high-value manufacturers in the North East, salmon farmers in Scotland, packaging producers in Northern Ireland or family-run food retailers in Wales, Heathrow's unrivalled connectivity helps UK businesses get their goods to global markets.

🌱💼 Yesterday's King's Speech saw the government set out their commitment to decarbonising aviation with the inclusion of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (Revenue Support Mechanism) Bill. Our Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer, Nigel Milton, shares why this is important and how Heathrow plans to support the new government with their ambitions. “It is encouraging to see the Government reaffirm their commitment to Sustainable Aviation Fuel as the principal immediate path to decarbonise aviation. Delivering the revenue certainty mechanism at pace is now the critical next step to attract the investment required to kickstart SAF production in the UK. Heathrow continues to play a leadership role by creating a microclimate for SAF at the UK's hub through our incentive scheme. Decisive Government action will ensure the whole country benefits from the green jobs and growth that SAF brings. We look forward to working with Ministers to engage and shape legislation that works for Government, industry and creates job opportunities for people right across the UK.” #SustainableAviationFuel #SAF #Sustainability #Heathrow #decarbonisation #Aviation
