Terminal 5
Terminal 5 is a quantum leap for Heathrow Airport. For the first time in years, Heathrow has enough space for all the passengers coming through the airport. The new terminal is a stunning glazed structure which represents the best of British engineering and delivers one of the finest passenger experiences of any airport terminal in the world.
On 27 March, 2008, passengers experienced one of the world’s finest airport facilities.
Visually stunning with some unique design elements, Terminal 5 has created a spectacular first impression for people arriving at Heathrow and an exciting and pleasurable experience for those flying from it.
Catering for around 30 million passengers annually, Terminal 5 is now the new home for British Airways.
Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners (formerly the Richard Rogers Partnership), BAA’s £4.3billion Terminal 5 development is the first step in BAA’s plans to upgrade and modernise the whole of Heathrow. By 2012, in time to welcome the world’s Olympians to London, we will have either rebuilt or redeveloped each of the existing terminals to provide modern facilities across the entire airport and complete Heathrow’s transformation into a world-class airport hub.
