In the largest private sector capital investment in the UK’s transportation network, Heathrow will invest £2.3bn (US$2.8bn) over the next two years to upgrade key facilities, ensuring the airport continues to move forward and provide better service for passengers and businesses. Planned investments total £1.05bn (US$1.3bn) in the airport’s infrastructure in 2025, with an additional £1.29bn (US$1.59bn) to be invested in 2026.

The £2.3bn investment, announced at the end of last year, is an uplift of £244m (US$301m) on previously forecasted investments and will be used to enhance capabilities across all terminals, including baggage delivery and projects to support punctual departures and arrivals. The investment program will improve service, resilience, passenger experience and sustainability for all passengers at Heathrow, according to the airport.

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. Active Travel projects will encourage cycling and walking to the airport and between terminals, and are expected to be completed in 2027.
