Holiday travel could become less busy as Heathrow expects fewer passengers because fighting in the Middle East may reduce demand. Heathrow said its latest investor report forecast a 1.1 per cent fall to 83.6 million passengers this year, despite growth earlier in 2026. Up to the end of May, passenger numbers rose 0.7 per cent to 32.8 million.
