This is correct, the passenger flights appear on the flights departures/arrivals pages, the cargo flights, even the ones using passenger BAU flt nos, do not. United have just recently reintroduced ORD from a cargo only service alongside EWR which didn’t stop.

And lets just get real an airport the size and importance of Heathrow to the national economy 15,000 is an exceptionally small amount - To use metaphor it equates to somewhere like Liverpools typical traffic levels.

Where do you get your info from? As far as I know all BA USA flights are cargo only. They retain their Pax flight numbers but the cabins are filled with cargo. Have you a source for the Pax numbers you refer to?

US carriers are also carrying fare paying pax, but of course only US Citizens or alien residents due current legislation.
All US carriers are currently selling seats for their UK flights, albeit limited and costly in some cases.
15K is a small amount but the 'public' seem to be under some misapprehension that flights have stopped altogether.

Today between 5am and 11.30am I saw 52 flights going into LHR, they all seemed to be passenger aircraft, surely they cannot all be repatriation, cargo flights ? Or is this a sign that air travel is trying to re-start. By comparison my local airport Edinburgh (nothing compared to Heathrow in size or capacity I admit) only saw 3 passenger flights ! during the same time period
They were:-
BA..... JFK x3, Washington, Nairobi, Chicago x3, Miami, Toronto, LAX, Atlanta, San Fransisco, Dallas, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Aberdeen
Aegean..... Athens
Aer Lingus.... Belfast, Dublin
Air Canada.... Toronto x2, Vancouver
Air China..... Shanghai
Air India.... Delhi
Air Malta.....Luqa
Alitalia.....Rome
American Airlines.....Dallas, Miami
Cathay Pacific.... Hong Kong
ELAL......Tel Aviv
Emirates..... Dubai
Etihad.....Abu Dhabi
Eurowings.... Dusseldorf
Finnair.... Helsinki
Gulf Air..... Bahrain
KLM..... Amsterdam
Lufthansa.....Frankfurt
Qatar..... Doha x3
Swiss... Zurich
THY....Istanbul
United..... JFK, Chicago x2
Virgin..... JFK x3

What disadvantages would it have brought to airlines or anyone else if the LHR curfew were extended to 07:00 while the airport is so little used? Is it just they don't want residents of West London to get used to sleeping with the windows open?
Thread Starter
For example, the first arrivals this morning were from Hong Kong and Singapore. BA032 is due to depart HKG at 23:10 local time and arrive at LHR 04:50 (it landed just after 04:30).
Delaying the arrival of such flights at LHR by 1-2 hours would obviously necessitate delaying the departure from HKG/SIN/KUL/etc by a similar amount, which the airlines argue would be commercially unacceptable (and might also infringe night restrictions at some originating airports).
So that's why West London (and Windsor) residents continue to be woken from 04:30 onwards.
Except that flights from HKG & SIN also arrive around 18:00 in normal times, and with 0-2 flights per day, and (I guess) without passengers, it shouldn't matter if they choose those arrival times rather than the crack of dawn.
Thread Starter
Looking at their timetables for this time last year:
VS207 HKG-LHR STA 04:30
BA032 HKG-LHR STA 04:50
BA016 SIN-LHR STA 05:05
BA028 HKG-LHR STA 05:30
BA012 SIN-LHR STA 05:50
Though VS does currently have an ad-hoc arrival from HKG at around 14:00 some days.
