Like most other low-cost carriers, easyJet has never flown from Heathrow. The airport is normally Europe's busiest, and with only two runways, congestion is a constant issue. Budget airlines rely on fast turnarounds, with as little as 25 minutes between arrival and departure, which is difficult to achieve at Heathrow.

As of early 2026, easyJet does not operate flights from London Heathrow Airport (LHR). The airline maintains its primary London hubs at London Gatwick (LGW) and London Luton (LTN), with significant operations also at London Stansted (STN) and its newest base at London Southend (SEN). Heathrow is primarily a hub for full-service legacy carriers and has high landing fees and slot constraints that typically do not align with the low-cost carrier business model. While easyJet has recently expanded its 2026 schedule with 16 new routes from eight other UK airports—including flights to Sal, Cape Verde, and various Mediterranean destinations—Heathrow remains absent from its network. Travelers looking for easyJet’s "low-fare" options in the London area should head to Gatwick or Luton, which offer extensive European connectivity and are the focal points for the airline's latest fleet of fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo aircraft.
