It is the first set of passenger figures from the west London hub since Rachel Reeves gave her backing to a third runway that could increase Heathrow’s capacity to 140 million passengers a year.
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said: “2025 has started how we mean to go on - serving record breaking passenger numbers and delivering trade and investment across the whole of the UK.
Heathrow started the year with another record month with 6.3 million passengers passing through the airport in January.
The airport also said: “We welcome the Chancellor’s recent show of support for a third runway at Heathrow.
“To successfully deliver this project at pace will require policy changes, including on airspace modernisation, planning policy reform and changes to the regulatory regime.
