Heathrow Airport experienced its busiest February on record, with passenger numbers surpassing pre-pandemic levels. The surge in air travel demand was particularly notable during the February half-term, with more than 2 million passengers recorded. A significant majority of these travelers opted for destinations offering winter sun, rather than traditional ski resorts. This record-breaking performance comes amid plans by eco activists to disrupt summer holiday flights by glueing themselves to major airport runways, and criticisms labeling Heathrow as 'incompetent'.
