Heathrow Terminal 5 schedule set
Heathrow Terminal 5 will handle a further 480 flights by the end of October, BAA and British Airways have announced.
The airports operator and airline recently said that the next phase of flights moving from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5 would be on June 5. Now it says a further tranche of flights will move into Terminal 5 in two phases, the first on September 17 and the second at the end of October.
BA has been operating 15 daily long-haul departures and 15 long-haul arrivals from Terminal 5 since March 27. On June 5, 15 more daily departures and 15 more daily arrivals will transfer across from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5. These flights include eight daily services to New York JFK. The other seven destinations are Abuja, Bangalore, Beijing, Cairo, Cape Town, Lagos and Phoenix.
Come September 17, 30 daily departures and 30 daily arrivals will transfer across from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5, connecting the terminal to Accra, Dar Es Salaam, Lusaka, Entebbe, Luanda, Mauritius, Nairobi, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait, Tel-Aviv, Mumbai, Nassau, Grand Cayman, Providenciales, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Baltimore, Washington, Dallas, Newark, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto and Mexico City.
The final transfer of flights to Terminal 5 will take place when 15 daily departures and 15 daily arrivals are moved. This will see Terminal 5 handling approximately 510 flights every day.
