January 09, 2021

Heathrow Airport has taken many steps during the first six months of 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect passengers and staff. Results from this period have been collected and announced. Passenger numbers were down over 96 per cent in Q2 as global aviation came to a virtual standstill. It is estimated that 2020 passenger volumes will be more than 60 per cent lower than 2019 overall. Q2 revenue fell 85 per cent to £119 million and adjusted EBITDA turned to a loss of £93 million. Heathrow has recorded an adjusted loss before tax of £471 million in the first six months of 2020. As a result of the declining traffic and revenues, Heathrow reduced its average cash burn by over 30 per cent, by cutting at least £300 million operating costs and cancelling or pausing over £650 million of capital projects. The airport has announced its cash reserves are sufficient until at least June 2021 with no revenue. A waiver on financial covenants until the end of 2021 has been agreed, an
