England Rugby World Cup champion Ellie Kildunne is set to bring a touch of sporting stardom and festive spirit to the UK's busiest airport this Christmas. The rugby star has been announced as the official voice of Heathrow Airport's public address system throughout the entire festive period.
A Festive Voice for Millions
Kildunne will deliver specially recorded festive messages to the millions of passengers passing through the airport's four terminals. Travellers will hear her voice sharing heart-warming sentiments, including that "the world feels a little brighter at Christmas" and that it is a time for "reconnecting, recharging and remembering what really matters".
The announcement comes as Heathrow prepares for its busiest ever festive season. Airport officials forecast that over seven million passengers will travel through its terminals during the month of December alone.
Spreading Christmas Cheer
Ellie Kildunne expressed her delight at being chosen for the unique role. She stated that she feels honoured to be involved and aims to bring genuine Christmas cheer to passengers, whether they are embarking on a winter holiday or, more poignantly, reuniting with loved ones for the festivities.
Daniel Edwards, Heathrow's director of services, explained the thinking behind the partnership. He confirmed that teaming up with the Rugby World Cup winner adds a special and unique seasonal touch to the airport experience for every traveller. The airport's hope is that hearing a familiar and celebrated voice will spark joy and add to the excitement of the holiday season.
A Winning Combination
This collaboration between a national sporting hero and a major transport hub is designed to enhance the passenger experience during one of the most emotionally charged and busiest times of the year. By using Kildunne's voice, Heathrow aims to create a more personal and memorable journey for the record number of people expected to pass through its doors.
