Hamad International Airport and London Heathrow Airport, which are owned by Qatar Investment Authority, are undergoing rapid expansion. Construction of Bugesera International Airport, which will become one of the major hub airports in East Africa (with Qatar Airways holding a 60% stake) is also being undertaken.

In 2024, London Heathrow Airport handled close to 83.9 million passengers, an increase of 5.9% year-on-year and a new annual record.

The airport handled 7.1 million passengers in December 2024, a year-on-year increase by 5.6% compared to the same month in 2023.

Heathrow Airport has also recently announced the largest private sector capital investment in the UK’s transport network, pledging GBP2.3bn over the next two years.

The planned acceleration of funding will see GBP1.05bn spent on the airport’s infrastructure in 2025 and an additional GBP1.29bn in 2026.
