BA Delay Longhaul Move to Terminal 5

11th April 2008 British Airways and BAA have agreed to defer the move of the airline's longhaul flights from Heathrow Terminal 4.

Why are you delaying the long haul move to Terminal 5?

We do not want to put customers at risk of the kind of disruption we saw on Terminal 5’s first day.

We need more time to iron out remaining problems, including the baggage system and its operation, to give us confidence that customer service in Terminal 5 can be maintained at a high level when the terminal is handling larger numbers of customers.

When in June will the move take place?

We will work out a timetable with BAA for phasing the move. It will begin in June but we have not decided the precise date.

Which flights will move in June?

We have said that the move will begin in June.We will work out a timetable with BAA for phasing the move.
