About London Heathrow Airport

London Heathrow Airport carries the IATA code LHR and the ICAO code EGLL. It sits at 51.4708, -0.4599 in London, United Kingdom, and is classified as a large airport with scheduled passenger service.

The codes are worth keeping straight, because they are not interchangeable. LHR is the three-letter IATA code — the one on your boarding pass and your baggage tag. EGLL is the four-character ICAO code air traffic control and flight planning systems use. This page tracks by position, so it shows every aircraft in the area regardless of which code its flight plan was filed under.

Positions come from volunteer ADS-B receivers and are provided for general interest. This is not a source of arrival or departure times — for those, check with the airline or the airport directly.
