Heathrow cargo soaring high

This represents more than a 10 per cent growth compared with 2023, with traders and forwarders taking advantage of the airport’s growing long-haul network to fly their high value and time critical goods around the world.  

Africa’s contribution to the airport’s cargo throughput increased 22 per cent YoY to 96,253 tonnes for CY2024 while North America and Asia Pacific reported a 14 per cent increase each. Meanwhile, cargo handled for UK and EU markets fell 11 per cent YoY.  

Heathrow reported that it handled 138,000 tonnes of cargo in December 2024 during the season of giftgiving, a 3.5 per cent YoY growth.
