How many airplanes arrived at heathrow airport per day?

Answer 1

Airports Council International rates airports in terms of total passengers served, rather than in terms of incoming passengers only, so solid figures on people flying in might be more difficult to acquire. However...

According to the most recent final numbers, Heathrow International served 68,068, 304 passengers in 2007.

Flight traffic density varies from day to day and from hour to hour within any given day, and passenger capacity and density varies significantly from flight to flight, but if this total is used to calculate an average passenger traffic density it would mean that, on average, over 7,770 passengers travel through Heathrow per hour.

If we further assume that half of those passengers are coming in, and half going out, we could estimate that roughly 3,885 passengers fly into Heathrow, per hour, on average.

Traffic estimates for 2008 and 2009 show slight decreases in this traffic.

Answer 2

On average, Heathrow Airport receives around 1,300 flights per day, which includes both arrivals and departures. This number can vary day to day based on seasonality, flight schedules, and external factors.

Answer 3

It is my understanding that planes land, on average, every 90 seconds on each runway at heathrow.

2 runways x 40 flights per hour = 80 flights in to heathrow every hour.

Answer 4

1200 aeroplan arrive to heathrow airport per day
