After nearly two decades of planning and construction, the highly congested London Heathrow Airport was finally on the verge of opening its much anticipated Terminal 5 (T5). With its completion, Heathrow would be capable of providing important new capacity for its tenant airlines and increase its overall revenue while improving its public image and status. On March 27th, 2008, T5 would become the new home for British Airways International (BA), currently occupying the largest amount of space at Heathrow compared to other airlines. As the profitable summer season approached, both British Airport Authorities (BAA) and BA would be hoping for a windfall of revenue as a result of this expansion.
