Heathrow discloses 2025 and 2026 investment push

LONDON - 1.05 billion GBP in 2025 and 1.29 GBP in 2026: Heathrow disclosed a 2.3 billion GBP investment plan over the next two years to upgrade the airport supported by new shareholders Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, PIF, and French investment firm Ardian.

The 2.3 billion GBP investment is a significant uplift of 244 million on previously forecasted investments which will be used "to enhance capabilities across all terminals, including baggage delivery and projects to support punctual departures and arrivals", the airport said.

The investment programme is meant to improve service, resilience, passenger experience, and sustainability for all passengers at Heathrow.

"The Independent Journeys Project, for example, will empower passengers requiring additional support and give them a choice to travel in the most independent way throughout the airport," according the the airport. "Active Travel projects will encourage cycling and walking to the airport and between terminals, and are expected to be completed in 2027."

PIF and Ardian recently took a combined 37 percent share in Heathrow.
