HEATHROW TERMINAL 2

TERMINAL TWO INFORMATION

Shut for demolition on 26th November (terminal 1 will shut as part of phase 2 in the future and the Queens building had already begun demolition work) to be replaced with a single building called Heathrow East. Project to complete stage 1 by 2012.
A new state-of-the-art terminal rivalling that at terminal 5 and capable of handling 30 million passengers per year will be built.
When phase one is complete it will house the airlines of the Star Alliance group. This is expected to be in 2013.
There will also be new piers built on the unused cross-wind runway.

Terminal 2 was actually the site of the first true terminal building at Heathrow, the ‘Europa Building’, which saw its first passengers for short haul flights in April 1955 and was officially inaugurated on the 16th December 1955 by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh.
