Balram Bheodari leads Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as North America’s most efficient airport, due to his vast knowledge of and astute attention to efficiency in aviation, which has allowed the airport to thrive in the most difficult of markets. Bheodari combines operational expertise, integrity, and selflessness to provide a quality of leadership throughout Atlanta Airport. He oversees all facets of airport governance, including operations and a multi-billion-dollar capital improvement programme, ATLNext, designed to pave the way for Atlanta’s growth over the next 20 years. During COVID-19, Bheodari developed a comprehensive resumption of operations playbook that served to support ATL’s recovery efforts. With guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) amid evolving health and safety guidelines, Bheodari steadfastly encouraged collaboration among stakeholders, team-building among aviation employees, and adaptability in uncertain times. Throughout the pandemic, he participated in daily calls with Airports Council International and other large-hub airports to share best practices as well as information from Washington, D.C. federal offices and the CDC.
He aimed to restore customer confidence and ensure the airport was a healthy facility using COVID-19 safe protocols. Since, the airport achieved Airport of the Year by the Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC).
During the height of the pandemic, Bheodari was the most ardent supporter of our mission-critical employees. Having worked his way up through the ranks, he fully appreciates the oftentimes thankless jobs these employees perform that keep the Airport safe and running optimally at all times. Morale never flagged because Bheodari made sure those employees felt valued through hazard pay, special meals, social media posts, intranet spotlight features, and other incentives.
His actions and his directives all reflect his commitment to the three key focus areas of our organisation’s strategic plan: people, purpose and performance.
Heathrow to London train services, operated by Heathrow Express, depart from Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 station. Train or bus from Heathrow to London? The best way to get from Heathrow to London is to train which takes 16 min and costs $5 - $45. Alternatively, you can bus, which costs $5 - $8 and takes 1h.
The service level for non EU passport control is 95% of the time you get through in 45 minutes. This year Border Control never had a month where they hit it 100% of the time, so count on a hour to get through passport control unless you fly at an odd hour.
It takes an average of 36m to travel from London to Heathrow Airport by train, over a distance of around 14 miles (23 km). There are normally 732 trains per day travelling from London to Heathrow Airport and tickets for this journey start from £12.30 when you book in advance.
When you land at Heathrow follow the signs for arrivals and pass through baggage reclaim, passport control and Customs. You'll see signs in the arrivals hall directing you to trains, buses and taxis.

Your Nationality - Not every nationality qualifies to use the e-gates at Heathrow, so if you do have to queue, it's going to take a while. Budget 45 minutes. Queues - If the e-gates are working seamlessly, probably 10 minutes at most.If they're down, probably an hour.
Use passport e-gates if you can. They are automated gates that use facial recognition to check your identity and allow you to enter the country without talking to a Border Force officer.
Pass through security at least 35 minutes before your flight departs. Be at the boarding gate at least 20 minutes before your flight departs. See the 'Boarding' section, below.
>Journeys to or from Heathrow Airport are priced at a premium due to using the rail tunnel between the airport and Hayes & Harlington. That stretch of line is not part of the Network Rail system but owned by Heathrow Airport Holdings, who charge TfL an additional fee for each train that uses it.
