In 2025, Heathrow Airport managed £293 billion in goods, representing over a quarter of the UK's trade value, despite geopolitical disruptions impacting cargo volumes. The airport, handling 1.59 million tonnes of cargo, is the UK's largest port by value, with each flight averaging £600,000 in goods. Imports valued at £166 billion included fresh food and electronics, while exports reached £127 billion, primarily to non-EU countries. Although operating at full capacity, Heathrow emphasizes the need for expansion to maintain competitiveness and support future trade amidst ongoing challenges in global supply chains.
