  • HEATHROW TERMINAL 5 OPENS on Friday 14 March, Her Majesty the Queen Officially Opened the New Terminal 5 Building at Heathrow Airport
    HEATHROW TERMINAL 5 OPENS On Friday 14 March, Her Majesty The Queen officially opened the new Terminal 5 building at Heathrow Airport. Despite new sections of Underground being previously completed (the Piccadilly Line from Heathrow T1,2,3 to Terminal 5 and Heathrow Express from Heathrow Central T1,2,3 to Terminal 5), there was no Royal opening for these. The Piccadilly Line extension to Heathrow Central (as it was then) on 16 December 1977 was a Royal occasion, as was the Terminal 4 opening on 1 April 1986 (the station opened on 12 April), the latter being in the hands of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The opening for passengers came on Thursday 27 March 2008, for both the Piccadilly Line and Heathrow Express. Both lines and platforms lay side by side each other. A short section of blue-tinted glass „wall‟ separates the two railways, so it possible to see one from the other. The Heathrow Express platforms are numbered 3 and 4, while the Piccadilly Line platforms are numbered 5 (arrival) and 6 (departure). Platforms 1 and 2 are reserved for any future main line rail expansion. Notices suggest that passengers might find it quicker to use the lifts, instead of two (or more) escalators from platform level into the terminal building. Here on the first day, your reporter was greeted with the announcement of delays in the air terminal to passengers‟ baggage. This turned into a rather big problem, which resulted in a number of flights being cancelled from the all-BA terminal, not only on opening day but for many days after, and certainly as these notes were being finalised on 6 April.

Whether due to asset failure, passenger action, weather, or other causes, disruptions often force passengers to change their preferred route or mode, defer their travel to a later time, or avoid making the trip altogether.

  • British Airways Profile
    SECTION 2 - BRITISH AIRWAYS PROFILE OVERVIEW British Airways is the world's second biggest international airline, carrying more than 28 million passengers from one country to another. Also, one of the world’s longest established airlines, it has always been regarded as an industry-leader. The airline’s two main operating bases are London’s two main airports, Heathrow (the world’s biggest international airport) and Gatwick. Last year, more than 34 million people chose to fly on flights operated by British Airways. While British Airways is the world’s second largest international airline, because its US competitors carry so many passengers on domestic flights, it is the fifth biggest in overall passenger carryings (in terms of revenue passenger kilometres). During 2001/02 revenue passenger kilometres for the Group fell by 13.7 per cent, against a capacity decrease of 9.3 per cent (measured in available tonne kilometres). This resulted in Group passenger load factor of 70.4 per cent, down from 71.4 per cent the previous year. The airline also carried more than 750 tonnes of cargo last year (down 17.4 per cent on the previous year). The significant drop in both passengers and cargo carried was a reflection of the difficult trading conditions resulting from the weakening of the global economy, the impact of the foot and mouth epidemic in the UK and effects of the September 11th US terrorist attacks. An average of 61,460 staff were employed by the Group world-wide in 2001-2002, 81.0 per cent of them based in the UK.

  • Impact of Airline Alliance Terminal Co-Location on Airport Operations
    Impact of Airline Alliance Terminal Co-location on Airport Operations by Andy Lee A Masters Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of Masters of Aviation Management (by Research) at The University of New South Wales March 2012 Supervisor: Dr. Cheng-Lung Wu Co-supervisor: Mr. Rodger Robertson School of Aviation THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Lee First name: Andy Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MSc School: Aviation Faculty: Science Title: Impact of Airline Alliance Terminal Co-location on Airport Operations Many airports worldwide have co-located or are in the process of reallocating alliance aligned carriers to their designated terminal areas, to promote flight connectivity, common user facilities and airport-airline relationships. While operational and financial benefits on the part of the airlines have been made clear by existing literatures on airline alliances, the tangible benefits to be derived for airport operators are less obvious. In order to better understand why airport operators have supported “alliance terminal co-location” in the first place, this paper considers the cases of London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Tokyo Narita airports. These airports are selected primarily because of the relevance of their operating environment as alliance network hubs, and their early implementation of the concept. The qualitative case analysis on these sample airports indicates operational improvements over the utilisation of aeronautical and passenger processing resources. This in turn has positively impacted property and retail revenue. Contrary to the initial assumption, it is found that the airport operators of all three sample airports have shown just as much enthusiasm in facilitating alliance terminal co-location as their airline counterparts.

  • Airport Operational Models
    Airports Commission Discussion Paper 04 Airport Operational Models The Mayor of London’s response July 2013 1. Summary of key points 1.1. In May 2013, the Airports Commission issued a Discussion Paper on Airport Operating Models (DP 04). This response addresses the issues raised, as per below. 1.2. Accompanying this submission is a supporting Evidence Base document, providing further detail on some of the key issues. This includes data from a significant new analysis of destinations and frequencies under future airport expansion scenarios. The Value of a Hub 1.3. Hubs enable a virtuous circle of connectivity by aggregating demand for passengers and freight, drawing on origin/destination and transfer traffic and a comprehensive mix of shorthaul and longhaul flights. 1.4. With a UK hub, that direct connectivity to the UK strongly benefits the UK economy. There are economic consequences for the UK when passengers hub abroad instead. 1.5. A UK hub airport needs to serve London because a strong O/D catchment is key. 1.6. Hubs continue to play a key role in aviation because they serve the economic interests of airlines and meet the connectivity needs of passengers and freight. 1.7. Hubs are driven by anchor airlines – and not alliances. The potential to develop a hub- model based on low-cost airline traffic or ‘self-connecting’ is limited. Key conclusion: An effective hub airport is the only way of delivering the global connectivity we require The Future Shape of Aviation 1.8. Competition between hubs globally is becoming more intense – with a smaller number of superhubs emerging in Europe, Asia and elsewhere as the aviation market increasingly divides into the hubs and ‘hub-nots’.

  • How to Get to Excel from Outside the UK London Has a Very Extensive Public Transport System, and There Are Generally Several Ways to Make Any Given Journey
    How to get to Excel from outside the UK London has a very extensive public transport system, and there are generally several ways to make any given journey. Here are our recommended options for getting to Excel from the main points of entry from outside the UK. From Heathrow Airport 1. Take the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground from Terminals 1, 2 & 3, Terminal 4 or Terminal 5. Get off at Hammersmith and walk across the platform to catch an eastbound District Line train. Get off at Westminster and transfer to the Jubilee Line eastbound (down several lifts or escalators). Get off at Canning Town and transfer to the Docklands Light Railway for a train towards Beckton. Prince Regent (for the Excel east entrance and convention centre). Total elapsed time: around 90 minutes. All transfers can be made without using stairs or escalators, but the platforms are not all at the same height as the carriages, so getting on or off some trains will involve a single step up or down. Cost: £5.10 peak/£3.50 off- peak using an OysterCard (which can be purchased in the arrivals area at Heathrow). You can save one change by staying on the Piccadilly Line to Green Park station and transferring direct to the Jubilee Line eastbound, but that involves a long walk through a tunnel. 2. Take the Heathrow Express train service from Heathrow Central, Heathrow Terminal 4 or Heathrow Terminal 5 to Paddington (note that from Terminal 4 you have to change at Heathrow Central). Take the London Underground Bakerloo Line northbound from Paddington.
