TSX gains after CPI shows US inflation rose 3%
Investing.com -- Britain’s Heathrow Airport handled a record 23.4 million passengers in the third quarter of 2025, including more than 8 million travelers in August alone, the airport reported Wednesday.
The London hub now expects full-year passenger numbers to exceed 2024 levels as it continues to invest in infrastructure and prepare for long-term expansion.
Revenue for the nine months to September increased 2.0% to £2.7 billion ($3.62 billion), driven by strong long-haul demand and increased uptake of premium services.
Despite the passenger growth, adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell slightly by 0.2% to £1.53 billion. The airport attributed this decline to the loss of tax-free shopping, increased security costs, and higher employment taxes.
Heathrow confirmed its outlook for 2025 remains consistent with projections outlined in its June investor report.
The airport also said it continues to advance plans for a third runway, which could become operational within a decade if it receives the expected planning approval by 2029.
