British Airways completes move to Terminal 3

British Airways completes move to Terminal 3

British Airways launched its final flights from Terminal 4 at Heathrow Airport last week, bidding farewell to the building after 23 years.

The airline completed a transfer of its joint operations with Qantas to Terminal 3, which now plays host to around eight per cent of British Airways' flights from London Heathrow.

Travellers can catch flights to Sydney, Bangkok and Singapore, as well as short-haul destinations such as Malaga, Lisbon and Vienna from Terminal 3 with British Airways.

The building is the designated base of the oneworld alliance at Heathrow Airport, meaning that it also hosts flights provided by carriers such as American Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Iberia.

British Airways' head of network operations, Peter Lynam, said: "We have had an operation at Heathrow split between three different terminals for the past two decades and it is great to finally be able to say goodbye to Terminal 4 and consolidate our operations in Terminal 5 and with our oneworld alliance partners in Terminal 3.

"Terminal 3 is the closest facility to Terminal 5 and this will help make it a smoother experience for customers transferring between British Airways flights and oneworld alliance partners."

The airline is one of 50 carriers that are rearranging their operations at London Heathrow before Terminal 2 is closed for redevelopment.
