Heathrow airport is hoping to achieve a record 8 million passengers in a single month, after traveller numbers were boosted by the summer holidays and Paris Olympics.
Passenger numbers were up 4.2 per cent year-on-year in July, bringing Britain's biggest airport just 20,000 passengers short off the 8 million milestone.
Heathrow CEO Thomas Woldbye said:
'Team GB's performance in Paris has been an inspiration to the nation and to Team Heathrow.
'In July, we were smashing a passenger record almost every single day and we're chasing down our never before seen goal of serving 8 million passengers in a single month.
'I'm proud that although there were a few potential challenges which could have caused us to stumble, our team remained focused on the prize of making every journey better and delivered a medal-winning start to the summer getaway.'
