		</div><p>Heathrow experienced its busiest day on record last month, the airport announced.</p>
<p>Some 262,000 passengers travelled through the west London hub on August 4 as many people set off or returned from their summer holidays.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>A total of 7.7 million passengers flew to or from the airport during the month as a whole, up 0.1% on August 2018.</p>
<p>Africa was the region with the largest year-on-year percentage growth in passengers numbers, with a 6.0% increase fuelled by a new Durban route and larger aircraft on Nigeria flights.</p>
<p>Demand for domestic Heathrow flights was up 2.7% as more passengers used services to and from Newquay, Guernsey and the Isle of Man during the peak season for UK breaks.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, the airport announced it is investing £50 million to roll out computer tomography (CT) equipment which could enable passengers to keep liquids and laptops inside their hand luggage when passing through security.</p>
<p>Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye said: “We are continuing to invest in future proofing Heathrow.</p>
<p>“The airport will be a test bed for ground-breaking technology like our new CT scanners to ensure that our passenger experience remains world class as numbers continue to grow.</p>
<p>“Using new technology and innovation as we deliver expansion will also demonstrate our global leadership on sustainable travel.”</p>
<p>Aer Lingus fly direct to the West London airport from Cork, Shannon and Dublin</p>
