Heathrow is an almost perfect airport, except that it is almost not filled with planes since it is a very large airport, in my opinion the largest airport in the game which you reach a point where if you have more than 200 aircraft contracts there are planes that do not go to never land due to the saturation of contracts depending on the time you dedicate to the airport, in my case I dedicate 1 hour a day. I think that in order to fill that airport, planes need to land on both runways and take off equally on both runways, although I already know that in real life at certain specific times planes land on both runways and then only use one.

Brilliant airport, once I’ve done Sydney and eventually Bangkok I go back to it.

Personally my favourite airport in game as I’ve been there a ton. And it’s the only airport I’ve been in WOA… Until next spring when I head to San Diego.

Hi Fellow Aviators,
I’m loving this game and been playing it for multiple years now.
However I keep getting to the point where my landing runways’ capacity is the bottleneck of my airport. I’m on LHR with all stalls unlocked, but am permanently using only 20% of it as the runway is constantly occupied and always the bottleneck.
It would be my dream to be able to use both runways for landing or takeoff; at my own discretion.
Would that be possible pls?
What would an enthusiastic game fan need to do to make this a reality 
Thank you!
That would be great. That could save me a few hours a day.
But unfortunately, the devs mostly orientate themselves on the original and 2 planes never land parallel in London.
I also agree with you on the subject of “gate usage”. The airport always looks empty. I always let the planes land for 1-2 hours and only then handle them. There is enough staff for this.
The problem is that the time a plane needs to land is almost the same as in real life. But the time at the gate, the handling, is 2-3 times faster. This means that the airports mostly look empty. Exceptions are now IAD BKK MCT LEJ (airports where more than one aircraft lands at the same time)
I don’t think there are any plans to fix your problem for the time being. But who knows what the WOA future has in store for us.
That’s why LHR sucks lmao. Play IAD or BKK

That’s not how Heathrow works. Plus it already has aircraft parked there overnight ready for the morning, some flights land then get put on remote stand till they return with the evening flight.
Then why don’t you explain to me how LHR works? I am curious.
Here:
Check the “Using both runways for arrivals” part!
According to it, dual landing happens between 6-7am, and may happen after 7am aswell, limited to 6 landings/hour on the departing runway (Tactically Enhanced Arrivals Mode).
After maxing LHR, the best approaches to playing late game LHR are either leave the game AFK landing and then play it, like Krankenwart described, or use X planes only. The second approach won’t help with gate usage, but you’ll be able to use all staff.
I believe we’ll only see a better LHR in game when they finish the 3rd runwway in real life, which should take years. Meaning: play BKK instead.
