Does easyJet use Heathrow?

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.



No, easyJet does not currently operate flights from London Heathrow (LHR) as of February 2026. The airline remains primarily focused on its major UK hubs at London Gatwick (LGW), London Luton (LTN), and London Stansted (STN). While easyJet has occasionally expressed interest in Heathrow slots, the high airport fees and slot constraints at the world's busiest airport generally conflict with the airline's low-cost business model. For travelers in the London area, easyJet recently expanded its "Winter 2025-26" schedule with 22 new routes, but these are centered around Gatwick and Manchester, which recently moved all easyJet operations to its upgraded Terminal 2. If you are looking for a low-cost alternative at Heathrow, you are more likely to find flights from carriers like Vueling or Eurowings, but easyJet continues to find its competitive advantage by dominating the "secondary" London airports where it can maintain faster turnaround times and offer lower fares to its passengers.
