UK airports to smash 300 million passenger record in 2025
UK airports are set to break records in 2025, with passenger numbers expected to top 300 million for the first time. This follows a steady rise, as 295 million travellers passed through in 2024. The upcoming festive season alone could see tens of millions of flights taking off and landing across the country.
The year began with strong growth, and by September 2025, 231 million passengers had already travelled through UK airports. Summer proved particularly busy, marking the highest-ever recorded passenger numbers for that season.
The surge in travellers reflects a growing trend in air travel, with 2025 already surpassing previous records. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, advising passengers to stay informed about possible disruptions during the peak holiday period.
