THE WORLD OF HEATHROW AIRPORT

Dedicated to all those who love the airport....

Information:

London Heathrow Airport or Heathrow (IATA: LHR, ICAO: EGLL), located in the London Borough of Hillingdon, is the world's busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic. It is the world's second busiest airport in total passenger traffic and the United Kingdom's largest and busiest airport. It is also the busiest in the European Union in terms of passenger traffic and the second busiest in terms of traffic movements. Heathrow is owned and operated by BAA, which also owns and operates six other UK airports; BAA is owned by an international consortium led by Spain's Ferrovial Group. Heathrow is the primary hub of British Airways, BMI and Virgin Atlantic.
Located 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) west of Central London, Heathrow was designed to have six runways in three pairs[citation needed] but now has two parallel main runways running east-west and five terminals. The site covers 12.14 square kilometres (4.69 sq mi). Terminal 5 was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 14 March 2008 and opened to passengers on 27 March 2008. Construction of a new Terminal 2 complex to replace the terminal building and adjacent Queen's Building began in 2009; the first phase is expected to open in 2014. Terminals 3 and 4 have recently undergone major refurbishments. In November 2007 a consultation process began for the building of a new third runway and was controversiallyapproved on 15 January 2009 by UK Government ministers.
Heathrow Airport has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P527) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction.

ENJOY! :D

Really awsome video!!! I wish we could get some more A380's down at Kennedy in New York!!! I really miss seeing the EK A380 come in!!!!

@BA2281 Thank-you very much!

[Airplanespot]

I don't like the A380's, it make the feel of Flying so poor, i prefer little aircrafts or just like the B777, because you can feel your flying, and with those big aircrafts, its passed time

[TheAviationSpotter97]

@Airplanespot I couldn't disagree more...
