Heathrow airport has reported a strong start to the year with passenger numbers up 2.6 per cent.
The UK’s largest airport saw revenue increase 3.2 per cent to £642 million for the first three months of the year.
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye welcomed the financial results and also called on prime minister David Cameron to commit to expanding the airport.
“It’s been a fantastic start to 2016 and Heathrow is performing strongly on all fronts. Our colleagues are delivering excellent value for our passengers - better service at a lower cost.
“At a time of uncertainty about Britain’s place in the world, families and businesses are counting on the prime minister to secure Britain's long term future. An expanded Heathrow will be an economic powerhouse, a global symbol of a confident, outward looking Britain. Let’s make it happen.”
