What It Really Costs to Run Heathrow Airport

Every departure has a price. But what does it actually cost to keep Heathrow Airport running? We open Heathrow Airport Limited’s published 2025 accounts to follow the bills behind the passenger journey—from staff and security to maintenance, electricity and the infrastructure that keeps everything moving. Then we follow the money coming in. Landing charges, shops and parking all contribute—but the difference between operating costs, investment and accounting profit changes the picture.
