Terminal rearrangements

Following the opening of Terminal five in March 2008, a hugely complicated programme of terminal moves has been implemented. This has observed a lot of airlines moved so as to be grouped in terminals by airline alliance as far as possible:

* Terminal 1: Star Alliance – plus Aer Lingus, El Al, Icelandair and Transaero
* Terminal 3: Oneworld – plus many non-aligned airlines (Air India, Air Mauritius, Cyprus Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Ethiopian, Eva Air, Iran Air, MEA, Oman Air, PIA, Qatar Airways, Saudia, Turkmenistan Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Vueling) and Star Alliance members not primarily based in Terminals 1 or four
* Terminal 4: SkyTeam – plus Continental Airlines and all other non-aligned airlines
* Terminal 5: British Airways

Additional moves depend on the airport’s substantial construction schedule but broadly they will be as follows:

* In early 2011:
o Terminal 5C will open and British Airways’ flights to Gibraltar, Lisbon and Vienna will move there from Terminal 3. British Airways’ flights to Bangkok, Barcelona, Helsinki, Madrid, Malaga, Singapore and Sydney are operated as codeshares with Finnair, Iberia and Qantas and will remain at Terminal three.
* In late 2013:
o All Star Alliance airlines will move into Phase 1 of the new Terminal 2.
o Terminal 1 will close and be demolished to make way for Phase 2 of the new Terminal 2.
* In early 2019:
o Phase two of the new Terminal two will open, enabling additional moves to relieve pressure on Terminal three.
