At Heathrow, our number one priority is always the safety and wellbeing of our passengers and colleagues.

We continue to work closely with government experts, health professionals and airlines to safely handle flights, many of which are helping with the repatriation of British citizens and cargo operations carrying vital supplies for frontline teams battling against this pandemic. This is a fast-moving situation and we continue to follow the advice of the UK Government on measures and restrictions required.

We want to thank our colleagues for their support and being there every day to keep our passengers safe and continuing their journeys.
