Heathrow Airports new Terminal was officially opened today (Friday 14 March) by the Queen providing much needed extra passenger capacity at Europe’s busiest Airport. The £4.5bn project has not been without its controversy particular concern being raised by environmental groups. BAA has always claimed that there will be no increase in the number of flights. I’ve seen the new building up close during my frequent trips to the airport through my Northampton chauffeur cars and Milton Keynes chauffeur cars business.

The building is quite stunning and is a state of the art facility bringing Heathrow right up to date. Once operational, attention will turn to Terminal 1 which is in much need of modernisation.

Some interesting facts relating to Terminal 5: Construction began: September 200260,000 people have worked a total of 100 million man hours to buildAircraft stands: 60 by 2010Car park spaces: 3,800Self service check-in kiosks: 96Standard check-in desks: 54Security lanes: 20Bags processed per hour: 12,000Lifts: 192Escalators: 105Retail units: 112 The first passengers are due to use the Terminal in a fortnight’s time. Let’s hope that my Northamptonshire airport taxi transfer service and Cambridgeshire airport taxi transfer service can benefit.Guilf Stanwick Chauffeur Driven Car Hire
