London Heathrow Airport Welcomes New CEO on Their First Day
Thomas Woldbye has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer at London Heathrow Airport (LHR), succeeding John Holland-Kaye, who led the airport for over nine years. Woldbye, with a strong background in European aviation, previously served as the CEO of Copenhagen Kastrup Airport.
As the new CEO, Woldbye aims to further enhance Heathrow's position as a leading global hub by focusing on passenger service, sustainability and growth over the next decade. Under his leadership, Heathrow is set to embark on innovative projects, including a new baggage system for Terminal 2.
The airport has seen a significant recovery in passenger numbers, rising from 19.4 million in 2021 to 61.6 million in 2022, with aspirations to approach pre-pandemic levels of 80 million passengers this year. However, concerns about the potential impact of reduced airline fees on investment persist.
