Heathrow has unveiled a bold £49 billion expansion masterplan — including a new third runway (£21 bn), the new T5X terminal (£12 bn) and modernising existing infrastructure (£15 bn). The project will nearly double passenger capacity to 150 million per year, accommodate up to 756,000 flights, deliver a 50% increase in cargo capacity and contribute 0.43% to UK GDP.

A Proud Moment for ChargeBox

We’re honoured to be mentioned directly in this strategic roadmap:

“Local SME ChargeBox Ltd is a pioneer in passenger charging, based in Chiswick. A charging-first, data-led SME, ChargeBox designs and manufactures its smart mobile device charging solutions in the UK. After a successful trial in Terminal 2, Heathrow expanded the rollout across all terminals within four months. The solution has since attracted interest from airports across Europe and North America, having seen it in action at Heathrow.”  Read the official report here. Heathrow Airport Expansion Plan.

This official recognition cements ChargeBox’s place among the 1,100+ SMEs assisting Heathrow in delivering sustainable, smart, passenger-first infrastructure.  

How ChargeBox Supports Heathrow’s Ambitious Goals

As Heathrow gears up for unprecedented growth, passenger infrastructure must be scalable, resilient and experience-driven. 

ChargeBox supports this vision with:

• Fast-charge units currently live in three terminals, set for full airport deployment by the end of August 2025
• Operational intelligence, including real-time diagnostics, usage analytics and predictive maintenance
• Passenger-first, future-ready solutions that reduce stress, enhance satisfaction and support improved ASQ/Skytrax scores

Heathrow’s proposal is much more than expansion — it’s an opportunity to redefine passenger experience and operational excellence. To be named among the pioneering SMEs partnering on that journey is a profound milestone for ChargeBox.
