Capital Investment Plan 2009 - Heathrow Airport

o This project will fund the provision of additional airbridges to 7 No. Code F
stands in Q6.
• Terminal 3
o Q6 Projects at Pier 5, 6 and 7 will include second / third airbridges on all new
/ reconfigured stands illustrated on diagram in App A2.
o This project will fund the provision of an additional airbridge to 1 No. Code E
stands in Q6. Should the Pier 5 project be cancelled – a second airbridge will
be required on a further 4 Code E stands.
• Terminal 4
o
JX Stands Phase 2 project planned for Q6 goes ahead and includes funding
for three airbridges. If not, additional bridges will need to be installed on
the existing JW stands.
• Terminal 5
o This project allows for 3 No. additional airbridges on Code E stands on T5A –
The inclusion of a Multi-choice apron to provide operational flexibility is likely
to make the inclusion of additional airbridges difficult.
o
Operational Issues
The Project assumes the ability to install a third airbridge on Code F stands at
T5B. Due to the inclusion of “Head of Stand” baggage delivery in the
original T5 project scope, the initial brief published by BA & BAA accepted
that the third airbridge would not be possible – This will require further
investigation.
