VET5A - Airport #1 - Visit London's Heathrow Airport (EGLL)

Official achievement authored by Bobby Allen.

Visit London's Heathrow Airport - The busiest airport in the United Kingdom!

London Heathrow is the biggest airport in the UK by size and by far the busiest in terms of passenger numbers. Indeed it was the busiest airport in Europe in 2019 with 80.9 million passengers in total, more than 1.5 million each week, more than other major international airports such as Paris CDG and Amsterdam Schiphol.

Located to the west of the British capital, Heathrow Airport has five terminals with the newest opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2008. However it currently only has two runways, not a lot for an airport that handles such high volumes of traffic and the sight of planes queuing up in the skies above to land is common.

A plane lands or takes off every 45 seconds at Heathrow which ensures air traffic controllers are kept busy but the airport has an excellent safety record with no fatal crashes or incidents in the 21st Century.
