Heathrow Airport, the operator of London Heathrow Airport, will invest £1.3 billion in 2026.
The company will carry out phased renovation work on Terminal 4, build a new multi-story car park, and refurbish the check-in area. Airport operations will continue as normal, and the work is scheduled to be completed in 2031.
A new baggage system will be introduced in Terminal 2, which, once completed, will be able to process 31,000 pieces of baggage per day.
A new airport-wide camera network will be installed, and image data will be analyzed using AI to shorten aircraft turnaround times, helping airlines save costs and improve on-time performance. Heathrow will work with airlines and ground handling companies to complete the rollout by the end of the year.
In addition, services supporting accessibility will be improved. In Terminal 2, a dedicated assistance area will be created, along with a dedicated route to security screening. Heathrow will also introduce a “Tailored Travel Guide,” which provides a personalized guide for moving through the airport when passengers with accessibility needs enter their travel details.
In 2025, about 99% of baggage is expected to be loaded onto the scheduled flight, and 97% of passengers are expected to wait less than five minutes at security checkpoints. In January this year, Heathrow completed the rollout of next-generation security screening across all terminals.
