Heathrow vrea să se extindă, după ce pierde titlul de cel mai aglomerat aeroport din Europa

Heathrow Airport has lost its title as Europe's busiest airport to Istanbul, prompting calls for expansion to accommodate more passengers. In July, Heathrow served 7.86 million passengers, while Istanbul had 8.15 million. The airport aims to increase its capacity to 150 million passengers annually, up from 84.46 million last year. The decline in passenger numbers is attributed to various factors, including geopolitical issues. Heathrow is seeking government approval for a third runway to enhance its competitiveness and economic growth. Recent consultations have been initiated regarding this expansion.
