Heathrow says record demand shows ‘honest conversation' is needed on expansion
Heathrow airport has called for 'an honest conversation' about expansion after another record month for passenger numbers. More than 7.2 million passengers travelled through its four terminals last month. This was up 0.4% from a year ago and represents its busiest May on record. A Heathrow spokesperson said: 'As these record numbers become the norm, it's time to start an honest conversation about the challenges this presents for an already space-constrained yet highly efficient hub. 'Heathrow continues to deliver excellent service, but to sustain this performance and meet future demand, expanding capacity will be essential.' The airport has previously said it will submit detailed plans for building a third runway to the Government in the summer. Chancellor Rachel Reeves used a speech on growth in January to give her support to the project, which has been repeatedly delayed over several decades because of environmental concerns.

Major UK airport's plans for millions more passengers ahead of £1.1bn expansion – with new flights to Europe this year
ONE of the UK's busiest airports has revealed plans for millions more passengers a year. London Stansted Airport is currently undergoing a major £1.1billion expansion. 2 And the airport is now seeking approval for an expansion that would allow up to 51million passengers a year by 2040. The airport capacity currently allows around 47million passengers. If given the go-ahead, it would make the airport the third busiest in the UK, behind London Heathrow and London Gatwick. The expansion plans so not include an additional runway, unlike Heathrow and Gatwick, due to the lack of surrounding space. And the current limit of 274,000 flights a year won't be increased either. However, improvements made to the train services as well as road access would be improved. The airport's Managing Director Gareth Powell said: "We have an exciting and ambitious vision for London Stansted and how we best serve our region. 'We have already kicked off our five-year £1.2 billion investment programme to transform the airport, and if this application is approved, we will be able to unlock even more local opportunities and improvements over the next 20 years." Last year, Stansted handled nearly 30million passengers - a record for the airport. The airport offers flights to more than 200 destinations including long-haul flights to Dubai and Barbados. New routes this year including Ryanair's flights to Reggio Calabria as well as TUI's Enfidha this summer. And Royal Air Maroc's new flights to Casablanca start this month. London Stansted's £1.1billion expansion includes an extended main terminal, as well as a bigger security hall and gate rooms. Works have already started and hope to be complete within three years. All of London's airports have revealed huge expansion plans in the next decade. London Heathrow is campaigning for a third runway, which would increase the current 80million passenger capacity to 140million a year. to welcome larger passenger aircraft, increasing capacity from 55million to 75million. Here are the 15 busiest airports in the UK by passenger numbers in 2023 London Heathrow - 79.2 million London Gatwick - 40.9 million Manchester - 28.1 million London Stansted - 28.0 million London Luton - 16.4 million Edinburgh - 14.4 million Birmingham - 11.5 million Bristol - 9.9 million Glasgow - 7.4 million Belfast International - 6.0 million Newcastle - 4.8 million Liverpool - 4.2 million Leeds Bradford - 4.0 million East Midlands - 3.9 million London City - 3.4 million And London Luton has plans to increase capacity from 19million passengers to 32milllion passengers.

Inside the Puerto Vallarta airport expansion
Meagan Drillinger Puerto Vallarta's international airport is undergoing a major expansion designed to meet rising tourism demand and elevate the destination's global connectivity. The project, which includes the construction of a second terminal, is expected to double capacity and streamline the travel experience for millions of passengers annually. Terminal 2, 40% complete as of March, is on track for completion by the end of the year. Once operational, the new terminal will increase the airport's capacity to more than 8 million passengers per year. The expansion will add more than 957,000 square feet of infrastructure. According to Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico (GAP), which operates the airport, the project represents an investment of $187 million. The terminal will feature updated technology, sustainable design elements and improved services to enhance the passenger experience. Puerto Vallarta has experienced record-breaking traffic in recent years. In 2023 and 2024, Puerto Vallarta welcomed more than 6 million visitors. The growing number of international arrivals, particularly from the United States, Canada and Europe, has created an urgent need to scale up infrastructure and services. The expansion also supports broader efforts to diversify Puerto Vallarta's visitor base in order to make Puerto Vallarta more of a year-round destination. "The Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board has focused on recent objectives, including a strategy to diversify its visitor base by attracting younger travelers and seeking business from South America and Europe," said Luis Villasenor, director of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust. "This approach aims to offset the seasonal fluctuations in demand for the destination." The upgraded airport facilities will include expanded customs and immigration areas, modernized baggage handling, additional gates and upgraded amenities for both leisure and business travelers. Villasenor highlighted other infrastructure projects that are part of a $9.3 million investment in public infrastructure in the state of Jalisco. The projects include widened sidewalks and bike lanes; a new road node north of the airport equipped to handle 116,000 vehicles a day; and a new fleet of eco-friendly, air-conditioned buses that will launch in the second half of 2025. Another government measure to alleviate the city's traffic congestion is to develop two new docks: one in Mismaloya and the other in El Centro. These docks will connect travelers and cargo to the docks in Los Muertos, Boca de Tomatlan, Quimixto and Yelapa.
