Apple has added the UK’s Heathrow airport to Passbook, its storage place for tickets and loyalty cards that was included in the recent iOS6 update.

Users will soon be able to store their Heathrow loyalty card in Passbook and receive retail offers and coupons when they are at the airport. However the link-up does not extend to activities such as check-in (an airline responsibility), so essentially this is a retail service.

One of Passbook’s main features is managing users’ travel requirements, including tickets, boarding passes and hotel reservations. In addition to Heathrow, other partners include United Airlines and American Airlines.
