NEW ‘QUEEN’S TERMINAL’ AT HEATHROW

The new Terminal 2 at London Heathrow Airport, the future home of Star Alliance, is to be known as “Terminal 2: the Queen’s Terminal”in recognition of Queen Elizabeth II and marking her long association with the airport. Britain’s Queen, who this year celebrates the 60th anniversary of her coronation, also opened the former Terminal 2 building that once occupied the same site as the new purpose-built facility, which is due to start operations on June 4, 2014. The new Terminal 2 will be the home for all 23 Star Alliance member airlines, including Air Canada, serving Heathrow and representing over 20% of the airport’s traffic. It is the first time all Star Alliance carriers will be in a single Heathrow terminal, creating a superior travel experience for passengers, new business opportunities for the member airlines and providing an improved working environment for employees.
