And passenger forecasts were met after 9.7million people travelled through its airport in January, February and March.
But the airport said it has lost £4bn since the start of the Covid pandemic.
Heathrow said it expects to see 52.8million passengers pass through its airport this year – up from a previous forecast of 45.5million.
More than 95 per cent of passengers passed through security within five minutes during the Easter getaway, the airport added.
