From parking to lift-off, T5 must shineThe official opening of Terminal 5 at London’s Heathrow International Airport was performed yesterday, with a status figure no less than her majesty Queen Elizabeth herself cutting the red ribbon. The expansion of Heathrow has been the subject of no little controversy, but the Airport Operators Association has come out saying it supports the expansion, calling T5 a necessary step to improve services for customers from airport parking to quicker check-ins.
Neil Pakey, chairman of the AOA said, ‘It is in the interests of passengers, businesses and the country as a whole that the UK has world-class airports. The opening of Terminal 5 represents a huge stride forward in providing the airport facilities which passengers deserve.
Thriving, growing airports are vital to help maintain Britain’s economic competitiveness. Domestic air links to Heathrow are particularly valuable for the regional economies, and this new Terminal will undoubtedly provide them with a much-needed boost.’
With the new terminal now open for business, the eyes of the nation will be watching to judge if all the fuss has been worth it, and if flying out of Heathrow can once again be a pain-free process.
