A staggering 78 million travelers pass through Heathrow Airport every year, of every nationality, sexuality and gender identity imaginable.
And all are greeted by the same smiling, welcoming faces emblazoned in arrivals and departures.
Of course, the airport’s iconic Welcome Campaign has featured everyone from cabbies and flower-sellers to British astronaut Tim Peake. And now, they’re looking for a new recruit…
To reflect the diversity of its visitors, Europe’s biggest airport is teaming up with Digital Pride to grant two lucky LGBTIs the chance to become the latest faces of the campaign for Pride month (July).
The lucky winners must be available on 9 and 10 May for a photoshoot in a central London location.
