Heathrow Terminal 3 to be revamped by end of year
Heathrow Terminal 3 is to be redeveloped this year as part of a decade-long, £6 billion upgrade of the airport’s facilities.
The London airport’s operator BAA claims the work will “significantly improve the passenger experience”, reduce traffic congestion, develop better pedestrian routes and improve security in front of the terminal.
Kerbside check-in capability will be introduced and a glass atrium-style extension will give more space for general check-in.
A new drive-through facility for Virgin Atlantic Upper Class passengers will be part of the scheme which is due to be completed by the end of the year.
BAA Heathrow CEO Tony Douglas said: “The re-development will take place this year and we expect to have the terminal’s improvements and forecourt ready by the end of 2007.
“The changes will significantly improve our passengers’ experience of Terminal 3 as we prepare for the terminal being occupied by different airlines by 2008.”
The project is part of a 10-year plan which includes the new ‘Heathrow East’ terminal and Terminal 5 which is on schedule to open in March 2008.
