Air transport in the United Kingdom covers the commercial carriage of passengers, freight, and mail by aircraft, both within the United Kingdom (UK) and between the UK and the rest of the world. In 2024 the UK had the third highest number of passengers carried, behind only the United States (US) and China. More than half of all passengers travelling by air in the UK currently travel via one of the six London area airports. Among these, Heathrow Airport is one of the ten busiest airports in the world. Manchester Airport is the largest and busiest UK airport outside of London, acting as a hub for the roughly 20 million people living in the vicinity. Regional airports have achieved the most growth in recent years due to the success of low-cost carrier airlines. After a plunge in traffic in 2020 and 2021, UK air travel increased significantly in 2022 with over 224 million passengers travelling to and from UK airports, thereby reaching 75 per cent of 2019 levels. The demand for passenger air travel is forecast to increase from the 2024 level of 295 million passengers to 425 million in 2050, raising questions regarding its environmental impact.
