London Heathrow

🇬🇧 London · EGLL

Europe's busiest airport handling 80+ million passengers with just two runways—a remarkable operational feat. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and every major carrier compete for precious slots. Pilots master the complex STAR procedures and face frequent holds due to capacity constraints. The precision required for the tight schedule and westerly winds makes Heathrow a benchmark for professional operations.
