LHR Airport Code: London Airport IATA & ICAO

London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is stored for London, United Kingdom. ICAO EGLL. Timezone Europe/London. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

LHR is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for London Heathrow Airport in London, United Kingdom (GB). The matching ICAO identifier is EGLL. Travel agents see LHR on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example LHRLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO EGLL is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Europe/London. This code page explains how LHR is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for United Kingdom: LGW (London), STN (London), MAN (Manchester), EDI (Edinburgh), BHX (Birmingham). Related IATA city code in this dataset: LON. To turn a booked PNR that contains LHR into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 LHRLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read LHR as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If LHR is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
