Last month also rounded off a record summer, with more than 30 million passengers travelling during June to September.
The busiest arrivals day ever was recorded on September 2 as more than 140,500 passengers landed at Heathrow.
Heathrow chief executive Thomas Woldbye said: “We are closing out our super summer on a high, with over 30 million passengers passing through Heathrow’s doors in the last four months.”
British Airways will resume flights to Georgia’s capital Tbilisi in summer 2025 after more than a decade’s hiatus.
The airline will also operate more than 400 direct flights a week to North America next summer across 26 cities.
