Question

How many flights land and takeoff per minute on heathrow?

Answer 1

Heathrow has about 480,000 flights (departing and arriving) per year, and there are 525,600 minutes in a year.  So on average, 0.91 flights take off and land per minute.  However, during certain times at night there are very few flights, while during peak hours, there can be almost 3 flights a minute, which leads to MAJOR backups if there are any delays =/

Answer 2

At peak times, aircraft land or take off every 46 seconds

. Air traffic is growing annually with over 1,000 flight movements every day
