The last terminal opening was riddled with errors but airport bosses say they won't let it happen again. London Heathrow Terminal 2 is a new airport terminal under construction in London Heathrow Airport, the main airport serving London, United Kingdom. The new development was originally named Heathrow East Terminal, and will occupy the sites where the previous Terminal 2 and the Queen's Building stood. It is designed by Luis Vidal + Architects (LVA), and it is due to open on 4 June 2014. Terminal 1 is due to close soon after, and will be demolished in 2016 to make way for the next phase of the Terminal 2 development. The new terminal development was approved by the then-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and Hillingdon Council in May 2007.[6] The terminal is designed by Luis Vidal + Architects (LVA). Construction is being undertaken by a joint venture of Ferrovial and Laing O'Rourke.[7] Once opened it will become home to Star Alliance, as part of Heathrow Airport Limited's plan to maximise the efficiency of the airport by reducing transfer times and improving the passenger experience.[8] The new terminal will have capacity for 30 million passengers each year.[9] The new terminal's design continues the "toast rack" principle employed in the construction of Terminal 5, a layout that maximises use of the airport's land by placing the terminal building and its satellites perpendicular to the runways.[10] Like Terminal 5, much of the building will be constructed off-site, helping to overcome many of the logistical constraints of building in one of the world's busiest international airports. Construction of the terminal is spread across two phases. The first phase, started in 2009 and due to be completed in June 2014, has involved the demolition of the old terminal and construction of half of the main terminal building, and the completion of the 522-metre (1,713 ft) satellite building Terminal 2B. The second phase is due to begin in 2016 with the demolition of Terminal 1 and the construction of the second half of Terminal 2 in its place. It had originally been expected that the second phase would be completed around 2019, but in February 2013 Heathrow Airport Ltd. confirmed the project would not be expected to be complete until the next decade. [11] Once complete the terminal will have a footprint and operational capacity very similar to that of Terminal 5. It has been designed to resemble a stunt aircraft in flight, and has been described as the longest permanent sculpture in Europe.[13] As of January 2013, Terminal 2A was declared weather tight and the internal fit out of the building was well under way. In Spring 2013 systems installation commenced. Terminal 2B has been under construction since 2008 and has also officially been declared weathertight. The first phase of the building was completed in November 2009 and its six gates have been operational since early 2010. Passengers currently access it via a temporary bridge from Terminal 1. The second phase has been under construction since October 2010. When completed, this will provide ten additional aircraft stands. It will be connected to the main terminal building by an underground link Heathrow Airport Terminal 2 is open for general public, after many years of hard work of Engineers at T2 they are expecting huge rise on the passengers. As it was the biggest challenge to create this terminal, but it is done well right on time. This airport will be the first to offer common check-in kiosks, it means you can use any check-in desk

I am a bit surprised that the link between The Terminal 2 main building and satellite isn't as the ones at Terminal 5, ie automated, perhaps it should of been, seems like a fair walk, could take some time for those catching a flight from the far end of the satellite, even more so for disabled people, families, etc

Wow so much money to make it look like they ran out of money. The baggage area looks better than the rest of the airport and that departure lounge...no words. Another utilitarian facility with no civic aesthetic.
-
Not shown in video...the huge metal sculpture in the atrium area...looks like an Archimedes Screw. Whos idea was that? What are they saying to anyone before they get in the building...screw you?
-
The thing that pisses me of is that we pay our taxes to make this terminal n then they name it the queens terminal what utter bullshit. Same with olympic park aswell :/
