Europe's busiest airport, Heathrow, expects a 1.1% drop in passenger numbers and profits this year. The airport reported that the continuing conflict in Iran is causing a significant decline in worldwide travel demand, which is impacting passenger numbers. This means profits are now forecast at £1.88bn, a £147m fall from last year's £2.03bn.
