A typical post picks up 36 interactions against 541K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 8.2K times each, and 0.432% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.52% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 60% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 138 interactions, about 3.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Heathrow Airport's engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 31% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.007%, Heathrow Airport sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    Flooding in the central terminal area has resulted in on-going road closures restricting access to Terminals 2 and 3. Passengers travelling to or from either of these terminals today must not travel by road. Passengers are strongly advised to use Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line and Piccadilly Line rail services where possible. Any passengers that must travel by car must use Park and Ride, head to Terminals 4 or 5 and take free rail services from there, or change at local rail stations. Please allow extra time for your journey. Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused.

    Passengers are reminded to arrive at the airport two hours before a European flight and three hours before a long haul flight. We ask passengers not to arrive earlier than these times as this may cause unnecessary congestion in the airport. FAQs: https://t.co/olUX9PW0jY https://t.co/V6C3lwh129

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 36 interactions against 541K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 8.2K times each, and 0.432% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

What is Heathrow Airport's engagement rate on X?
Heathrow Airport (@HeathrowAirport) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 541,148 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.007%, Heathrow Airport sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @HeathrowAirport have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @HeathrowAirport post?
Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
