The History of Heathrow Airport

Heathrow airport began as early as 1929, when it was only a small airfield, and the land around it was fields and farms. A local village, Heathrow, would serve to give the airport its future name. Although the airport was in construction during the second world war, it was not completed until 1946, when it began to be used by civilian airlines. In 1966 the airport was renamed from London Airport to Heathrow Airport, the name which it still carries. Heathrow has since become the largest and busiest airport in the United Kingdom, servicing over 75 million passengers every year, to hundreds of destinations, aboard flights which can all be tracked using the Flight Tracker on this page.
