2012-07-31 — /travelprnews.com/ — A busy day at the airport with 218, 974 passengers expected in the terminals – 105,921 of which are arrivals. Over 700 members of the Games Family* are expected to arrive at Heathrow today, with around 170 departing.
There is some rain this morning but it should clear later and it is not expected to affect operations.
Media rooms are now open in all of our terminals together with media assistants to help with enquiries. The rooms all have free Wi-Fi and ISDN facilities for journalists. There are also media zones by each terminal’s arrivals barrier for media to wait for arriving Games competitors. Any media wishing to work at Heathrow between 11th July and 12th September should register at www.heathrowairport.com/media2012. Passes should be picked up at media rooms when media arrive each day.
*Games Family includes athletes, coaches, officials and accredited media.
As Official Host Airport for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Heathrow will facilitate the journeys of around 80 per cent of the several hundred thousand spectators expected to attend the Games as well as more than 10,000 athletes.
It will be business as usual for 19 million passengers expected to use the airport to travel for business, fly home or on holiday between July and September. The airport has therefore put a number of initiatives in place to bring the excitement and visual spectacle of the Olympics directly to them.
