Heathrow Airport is reintroducing fast track security for all passengers in anticipation of a record-breaking summer travel season. The West-London hub expects over 30 million passengers between June and September, with a full-year forecast of 82.4 million travelers.

Record Summer Travel Demand

Heathrow Airport is gearing up for what is expected to be its busiest summer ever. The airport anticipates over 30 million passengers flying through its terminals between June and September. This surge in travel demand follows a booming year for aviation in 2023, as holidaymakers return to the skies after years of lockdowns.

Fast Track Security Service

To accommodate the influx of travelers, Heathrow is bringing back its fast track security service. For £12.50 per person, passengers can select a one-hour window to pass through security, significantly reducing wait times. The service is available daily from 6am to 10pm across all Heathrow terminals.

Ross Baker, Chief Customer Officer at Heathrow Airport, stated, “Fast Track offers a premium security experience, cutting down queue times, getting journeys off to smooth starts, and giving passengers extra peace of mind ahead of their trips.”
