The delay in moving will have a knock-on effect on other airlines who
had been due to take over Terminal 4 once BA had left.


Which will have a knock-on effect on being able to close T2 for
redevelopment, which is due to finish for the drum roll Olympics.


Given the requirement for construction capacity in east London to
build the Olympic venues one wonders whether BAA's timetable for
Heathrow redevelopment is really that wise. That said, perhaps it all
makes more sense when one considers BAA's real game plan - getting a
third runway at Heathrow...
