HEATHROW is turning up the festive cheer with a live choir, to welcome passengers home for the holidays.
Throughout December, the choir of more than 20 singers will deck the arrivals halls of the four terminals with carols, personalised greetings and multi-lingual messages.
Northants Sings Out choir, which made it to the final of Britain’s Got Talent this year, will sing classic carols and contemporary jingles.
They will be in the language of Heathrow’s most popular Christmas destinations, including Arabic, French, Mandarin, Turkish, Spanish and Gaelic.
More than 500 of Heathrow’s ‘Here to Help’ team, and more than 70 Heathrow Volunteers, will be on hand in the terminals this year, ready to help passengers.
Heathrow is expecting its busiest Christmas ever, with a total of seven million passengers expected to pass through its doors.
Lee Boyle, Head of Services, said: “There’s nothing like that magic feeling of walking out of Heathrow arrivals, spotting your loved one and giving them a big hug – especially at Christmas.
“We’re thrilled to give a warm, heartfelt welcome to travellers from around the world. Our goal is to make every Christmas journey memorable.”
