How is Heathrow Airport improving its online presence?
Heathrow Airport has extended its partnership with Adobe, announcing plans to rebuild its main website on Adobe's AEO and AI customer experience software. The new site will run on Adobe CX Enterprise, a system that uses AI agents to manage how a business attracts and serves customers. With over 50 million visitors per year, Heathrow's website is a critical touchpoint for passengers, local communities, and government stakeholders.
What role will Adobe's AEO and AI customer experience software play?
As part of the partnership, Heathrow will also utilize Adobe Experience Manager, a content management tool designed to deliver personalized content to passengers. Additionally, the airport will start using Adobe Brand Visibility, a tool launched in June to help companies track how their content appears on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity.
According to Stephen Glenfield, head of digital at Heathrow, the partnership with Adobe will enable the airport to provide passengers with the right information, improving LLM visibility, whether they're visiting the website or querying via a large language model (LLM). Adobe's own research has found that one in four consumers now use AI platforms as their main source of information for travel decisions, highlighting the importance of maintaining a strong online presence.
Nathan Hancock, who leads Adobe's business in the UK, Ireland, the Middle East, and Africa, noted that the deal will keep Heathrow's content "visible and accurate in a world where AI is increasingly the first stop on the travel journey." The companies have worked together for over a decade, and the partnership is expected to help Heathrow maintain its position as one of the busiest airports in the world, having handled a record 84.5 million passengers in 2025.
While the launch date for the new website and the financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, the partnership is seen as a significant step forward for Heathrow's digital transformation. By leveraging Adobe's AI-powered customer experience software, the airport aims to improve its online presence, enhance the passenger experience, and stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly AI-driven travel landscape.
