Not a lot in terms of direct spend, but they pay APD and taxes (depending on route and stopover times) and as many of them fly on British carriers (not that there are too many of those left now) there is an indirect benefit.

Also, the friendly and efficient welcome they get at the major airhubs might encourage them to come back for a holiday or business trip ..... or maybe not!
