希思罗机场在2月创下了创纪录的旅客人数,但因跑道全满而面临增长限制,这威胁到其作为欧洲最繁忙机场的地位。 Heathrow Airport hit record February passenger numbers but faces growth limits due to full runways, risking its status as Europe’s busiest airport.

希思罗机场报告说,2月最繁忙,乘客人数为580万,比去年增加110 000人,原因是学校忙碌的半学期和中国新年旅行。 Heathrow Airport reported its busiest February on record with 5.8 million passengers, a 110,000 increase from last year, driven by a busy school half-term and Chinese New Year travel. 机场旅客人数增加了1.9%,原因是飞机更全面、更大型,但警告说机场的两条跑道已满载,增长受到限制。 The airport saw a 1.9% passenger rise, attributed to fuller and larger aircraft, but warned its two runways are at full capacity, limiting growth. 这导致希思罗落后于欧洲平均4.6%的增长水平,并失去了其作为伊斯坦布尔大陆最繁忙机场的头衔。 This has caused Heathrow to fall behind Europe’s 4.6% average growth and lose its title as the continent’s busiest airport to Istanbul. 机场强调,第三条跑道必须保持竞争力,并正在与航空公司合作,在中东紧张局势下管理飞行需求。 The airport stressed the need for a third runway to remain competitive and is working with airlines to manage flight demand amid Middle East tensions. 首席执行官托马斯·沃尔德拜(Thomas Woldbye)肯定了希思罗(Heathrow)对服务和业务复原力的承诺。 CEO Thomas Woldbye affirmed Heathrow’s commitment to service and operational resilience.
