Heathrow Terminal 5 will handle a further 480 flights by the end of October, BAA and British Airways have announced.

The airports operator and airline recently said that the next phase of flights moving from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5 would be on June 5. Now it says a further tranche of flights will move into Terminal 5 in two phases, the first on September 17 and the second at the end of October.

BA has been operating 15 daily long-haul departures and 15 long-haul arrivals from Terminal 5 since March 27. On June 5, 15 more daily departures and 15 more daily arrivals will transfer across from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5. These flights include eight daily services to New York JFK. The other seven destinations are Abuja, Bangalore, Beijing, Cairo, Cape Town, Lagos and Phoenix.
