"British Airways has delayed moving most of its long-haul flights to Heathrow's new Terminal 5 until June. [...] No date in June has yet been given for the move. 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. [...] Sixty arrivals and 60 departures per day were due to be moved." In an interview on the BBC Willie Walsh was also implying that the T4 move, when it happens, will be in more than one phase. Very sensible. Sensible, yes, but not entirely fair on the airlines who were planning to move into the terminals BA was supposed to vacate. BAA isn't supposed to be running Heathrow for the sole benefit of BA. -- Stephen Willow: He said he wasn't coming back until he had driven to all fifty states. Buffy: Did you explain about Hawaii? Willow: Well, he seemed so determined. |
