Terminal 5
Terminal 5 will be a quantum leap for Heathrow Airport. For the first time in years, Heathrow will have enough space for all the passengers coming through the airport. The new terminal is a stunning glazed structure that will represent the best of British engineering and deliver one of the finest passenger experiences of any airport terminal in the world.
On 27 March, 2008, passengers will experience one of the world’s finest airport facilities.
Visually stunning with some unique design elements, Terminal 5 will create 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 will also be the new home for British Airways.
Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners (formerly the Richard Rogers Partnership), BAA’s £4.3billion
Terminal 5 development becomes 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.
