Heathrow celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2016.
December 31, 2015 marked 70 years since Heathrow officially became a commercial airport. Over the course of 2016, Heathrow will be celebrating a number of key moments with colleagues, passengers and the local community to mark this significant anniversary. May 31 is the official date of Heathrow’s birthday – marking 70 years since the then newly named London Airport officially opened for civilian aviation. Heathrow was originally built for military purposes during the Second World War and was handed over by the Air Ministry to the Minister of Civil Aviation on January 1, 1946.
The first commercial flight to depart was a British South American Airlines Lancastrian ‘Star Light’ which flew to Buenos Aires on New Year's Day 1946, with the then London Airport opening to passengers the following May 31st.
Since its opening, the UK’s only hub airport has grown significantly to handle over 73 million passengers annually.
