Heathrow expects fall in passengers and profits this year because of Iran war

Heathrow Airport forecasts a decline in passenger numbers to 83.6 million and a profit reduction of £147 million this year, citing the ongoing Middle East conflict's dampening effect on global travel demand. The airport's adjusted profit is expected to fall to £1.88 billion from £2.03 billion reported last year, while a government analysis questions the economic benefits of a proposed third runway.
