As one of the busiest airports in the world for passenger traffic, London Heathrow airport is the largest airport in the United Kingdom and busiest in the European Union for passenger traffic. This makes up one of the five London airports and is owned and operated by BAA. British Airways, BMI and Virgin Atlantic use the airport as their primary hub. Located 14 miles to the west of central London in Hillingdon, the M25 motorway is in close proximity.
Due to the huge number of passengers using Heathrow airport every year, parking at Heathrow is offered through many sources. Many customers chose the on airport BAA car parks for their Heathrow parking and although there are off airport car parks providing cheaper rates, it is in the meet and greet market which sees the largest competition.
