A record 80 million passengers used Heathrow last year as numbers grew by 2.7% over 2017.
The growth was boosted by the use of larger and fuller aircraft and comes as the London hub starts fresh consultation on plans to expand with a third runway.
Heathrow is one of only seven airports in the world to achieve the 80 million annual passenger milestone.
