World's busiest single-runway airport where easyJet, British Airways, and low-cost carriers maximize every slot. Pilots manage the constant pressure of the single runway, where any delay cascades through the schedule. Strong Channel crosswinds and UK weather create regular challenges. The northern runway limit means creative sequencing by ATC.
