Terminal 5 was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in a ceremony on Friday. It is scheduled to open to passengers on 27 March 2008 and will be the new home of British Airways. The first to use the new terminal will be a BA flight 26 from Hong Kong, while flight 302 to Paris will be the first flight departure from the Terminal 5.
The £4.3 billion complex features 60 new aircraft stands, 2 satellite buildings, rail links to London Underground and Heathrow Express, a new multi-storey car park and landscaping.
BAA says the new terminal is set to help transform the passenger experience at Heathrow, and relieve the immense pressure on the airport by handling up to 35 million passengers a year.
