    Terminal 5 was proposed by the BAA to increase the capacity of the airport, to hold more planes and passengers. The number of aeroplane users in Heathrow is steadily increasing, reaching about 68 million in 2008 and is the 3rd busiest airport in the world. The expansions will decrease the traffic caused by the passengers and also reduce the airway traffic by around 45%. BAA also proposed that they will build public transport links to reduce traffic. This will allow smoother transitions and decrease the number of delays. Moreover, it will also allow the UK to ‘keep’ up with the European competition and also provide large business areas. However, the turnaround of the development was not very great, it costs £12 billion and the return is £17 billion over a period of 70 years. This is very likely that it will set the UK government back due to the large investment.…

    Heathrow: Terminal 5

    • 1719 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The plans for this project began as far back as 1982, where there was an on-going debate as to whether the aviation industry in the United Kingdom should expand through Heathrow Airport or Stansted Airport. The objective of the operation was to add a fifth passenger terminal to Heathrow to handle the tourism coming into London, also with the intentions of increasing the capacity of Heathrow Airport from 65 million people per year to 97 million people per year. Plans for the building of Terminal 5 began in 1988. The project was given a budget of under £4.5 billion. The main stakeholders in this operation were Willy Walsh (CEO of British Airways at the time), and Tony Douglas (CEO of BAA at the time). Terminal Five was going to be made using the latest technology in order to make the airport experience much easier for the public, and also to keep up with the leading airports in the world. The public were originally very strongly opposing the plans, with local people and local councils claiming it would cause more noise pollution, air pollution and traffic congestion in their area. The first design milestone for this project came in the late 1980 's when architect Richard Rogers of 'Richard Rogers Partnership Architecture Firm ' was appointed with the task of designing the structure. British Airports Authority (BAA) officially announced a proposal to expand through building Terminal 5 at Heathrow in May of 1992. Terminal 5 had to fulfil a number of needs as an airport terminal, such as retail facilities, rail terminal, multi-storey car park, production lines etc.…
