Heathrow Terminal 2, also known as The Queen's Terminal, is an airport terminal at Heathrow Airport, the main airport serving London, United Kingdom. The new development was originally named Heathrow East Terminal, and occupies the sites where the previous Terminal 2 and the Queens Building stood. It was designed by Luis Vidal + Architects and opened on 4 June 2014. The original Terminal 2 opened in 1955 as the Europa Building and was the airport's oldest terminal.

Terminal 1 closed to passengers on 30 June 2015, [4] although as Terminal 1's baggage system is used by Terminal 2, part of it will remain operational. [5] Terminal 1 is due to be demolished, allowing for Terminal 2 to be extended at an as yet undisclosed date. [6] In 2015, Terminal 2 handled 16.7 million passengers on 116,861 flights and 22.5% of the airport's passengers on 25.2% of its flights with an average of 130 passengers per flight. [7]

History

Original terminal

The first building to be known as Terminal 2 was Heathrow's oldest terminal. It was designed by Frederick Gibberd and opened as the Europa Building in 1955. He also designed the adjacent Queens Building.

The old Terminal 2 had an area of 49,654 square metres (534,470 sq ft) and in its lifetime saw 316 million passengers pass through its doors. Originally designed to handle around 1.2 million passengers annually, in its final years of operation it often accommodated around 8 million.

On 20 April 1984, a bomb exploded in the baggage area of T2, injuring 22 people including 1 seriously.

Despite the efforts of maintenance staff and various renovations and upgrades over the years, the building became increasingly decrepit and unserviceable. It was closed on 23 November 2009; [8] Air France flight AF1881 to Paris was the last flight to depart from the terminal. The building was demolished in 2010, [9] and the resulting space was combined with the adjacent area where the Queen's Building stood until its demolition in 2009 to form the site for the new terminal.

New terminal

Approval for the new terminal, originally named Heathrow East, was granted by the then-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and Hillingdon Council in May 2007. [10]

Design

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. [11] Like Terminal 5, much of the building was constructed off-site, helping to overcome many of the logistical constraints of building in one of the world's busiest international airports.

The terminal is split into two connected buildings, Terminal 2A and Terminal 2B. 2A was designed by Luis Vidal + Architects (LVA) and built by a joint venture between Ferrovial and Laing O'Rourke. [12] All European carriers except Icelandair use terminal 2A to board and disembark passengers. Air Canada and Turkish Airlines also use this building for their short haul flights. 2B was designed by Grimshaw Architects, and built by Balfour Beatty. [13] All international carriers use terminal 2B. Icelandair is the only European carrier to use Terminal 2B.

The gates in the new T2 are numbered in concourse A (gates 1–26) and concourse B (gates 28–49).

The new Terminal 2 is designed to produce 40% fewer carbon dioxide emissions than the buildings it has replaced. [14] 20% of this target will be achieved through energy efficiency design technology elements, such as high levels of insulation, a comprehensive colour changing LED lighting installation designed by StudioFractal and extensive natural lighting. Large north-facing windows in the roof will flood the building with natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting, without generating excess heat. Photovoltaic (solar) panels on the roof will further reduce dependency on energy supplies. The remaining 20% carbon reduction will be due to the new T2 Energy Centre, via biomass CHP fuelled by woodchips from local renewable resources, will provide heating and cooling to both Heathrow Terminal 2 and Heathrow Terminal 5. [14]

Construction

Construction of the terminal is spread across two phases. The first phase, started in 2009 and 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 after the demolition of Terminal 1 and will involve 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. [15] Once complete the terminal will have a footprint and operational capacity very similar to that of Terminal 5.

Phase 1 was once expected to be completed in 2012, in time for the 2012 Summer Olympics but, as construction started much later than proposed it only opened in June 2014. [16]

By January 2013, Terminal 2A had been declared weather-tight and the internal fit-out of the building was well under way. In spring 2013 systems installation commenced. The first phase of Terminal 2B was completed in November 2009 and its six gates became operational in early 2010. Until Terminal 2 was completed, passengers accessed the first part of Terminal 2B via a temporary "bridge" from Terminal 1. [17]

Demolition of the original airport control tower which formed part of the Central Terminal Area of the airport began in January 2013 and was completed in autumn 2013, to make way for connecting roads that have been built to link with the new Terminal 2. Air traffic control operations had moved to a new control tower in 2007 but part of the building remained in use as office space. [18]

In June 2013 it was announced that the terminal would be known as "Terminal 2 – The Queen's Terminal". [19] The terminal features a sculpture designed by Richard Wilson, called Slipstream . It has been designed to resemble a stunt aircraft in flight, and has been described as the longest permanent sculpture in Europe. [20] A second sculpture, named Emergence, was created by Cinimod Studio and is suspended within the terminal.

The first flight to arrive at the terminal was United Airlines flight UA958 from Chicago O'Hare, landing at 5:49 am local time on 4 June 2014. [21] Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the terminal on 23 June 2014 after Air Canada, Air China, and All Nippon Airways moved in on 18 June 2014. [22]

After a period of phased moves, [23] the terminal has become home to Star Alliance, as part of Heathrow Airport's plan to maximise the efficiency of the airport by reducing transfer times and improving the passenger experience. [24] The new terminal will have capacity for 30 million passengers each year. [16]

Airlines

Terminal 2 was the main base for Virgin Atlantic Little Red until it ceased operations in 2015. Today, most flights to/from Terminal 2 are short haul flights to mainland Europe. There are a few long haul flights from this terminal. Because of the area size of the terminal, it is the only terminal at Heathrow Airport to accommodate the ATR turboprop, the Embraer E-Jet family and other smaller aircraft.

Star Alliance

Terminal 2 is the base for Star Alliance members that fly from Heathrow. All airlines transferred from other terminals by January 2017, with Air India shifting from Terminal 4 to Terminal 2 on 25 January 2017. [25] There is no common Star Alliance lounge in the terminal; Lufthansa has a lounge in the main terminal, while Air Canada, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines each have lounges in the satellite.

In the main terminal there are also an Aer Lingus lounge and a Plaza Premium pay-as-you-go lounge.

SkyTeam

No SkyTeam carriers currently operate from this terminal.

Between 3 May 2020 and 15 July 2021, all SkyTeam members used Terminal 2 due to the closure of Terminal 4. However, on 15 July 2021, Delta Air Lines moved back to Terminal 3 as the first operators at Terminal 3 along with Virgin Atlantic. In August 2021, SkyTeam members Air France, Kenya Airways, KLM, Korean Air and Middle East Airlines joined Delta at Terminal 3 while Aeroflot, China Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, ITA Airways, Saudia, TAROM and Vietnam Airlines stayed at Terminal 2. Beginning 14 June 2022, ITA Airways, Saudia, TAROM and Vietnam Airlines moved back to Terminal 4 on different days. China Eastern Airlines remained at Terminal 2 with China Airlines until it moved back to Terminal 4 on 1 November 2022.

Non-alliance

6 non-aligned airlines also operate from this terminal: Aer Lingus, Eurowings, Icelandair, JetBlue, Loganair, and Sky Express. Eurowings is a Lufthansa subsidiary that has replaced Lufthansa on flights to German destinations other than to Frankfurt and Munich. On 12 August 2021, Jetblue began service from John F. Kennedy International Airport on Airbus A321 LR aircraft. This is their first attempt of transatlantic services. Sky Express will be moving to Gatwick Airport on 31 March 2023.

Terminal 2 is set up to handle not only international flights, but also UK domestic and Irish flights, which is like Terminal 5 and unlike Terminals 3 and 4. Aer Lingus and Loganair serve UK domestic and Irish flights from this terminal.

Several other non-aligned airlines operated from this terminal until they stopped flying to Heathrow. Flybe flew to this terminal from 25 March 2017 until 5 March 2020 when the airline filed for administration. Flybe relaunched from this terminal until it entered administration again in 2023. Widerøe operated from this terminal until it moved its operations to Stansted Airport on 25 March 2023. [26]

Airbus A380 and Boeing 747

Singapore Airlines operate the Airbus A380 from Terminal 2 in the summer of 2015 for two of Singapore Airlines' four daily flights.

Thai Airways International previously operated the Airbus A380 on one of two daily flights until retiring all of their A380s in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

United Airlines previously has used a single daily Boeing 747-400 on its San Francisco to Heathrow routes during the summer tourist season, but UA retired all of its 747s in November 2017. Thai Airways International has also used one 747 on another daily flight to this terminal.

Ground transport

Inter-terminal transport

Terminal 2 is connected by an underground walkway to Terminal 3. Terminals 4 and 5 can be reached by the free Elizabeth line or Heathrow Express rail service. London Underground services can also be used to transfer to Terminals 4 and 5 (the former requiring a change of train at Hatton Cross), but this service is only free to Oyster card holders and those paying via contactless. [27]

In addition, numerous buses ply between the Central Bus Station (for Terminals 2 and 3) and the other terminals. However, using the train service is much quicker and easier for passengers with luggage. In June 2021, free bus travel between terminals was ceased. [28]

As part of the two central terminals at Heathrow, it is well linked to the M4 motorway via the M4 spur road and through a tunnel under the north runway.

Terminal 2 is served by regular rail services from Heathrow Central and Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 tube station. These stations, shared with Heathrow Terminal 3, are situated in the central terminal area and provide regular connections to other Heathrow terminals, to Central London, the London Underground network, and local destinations. As of 2022, services run from the early morning until approximately midnight.

Additionally, RailAir coach services provide coach connections between Heathrow bus station (see below) and rail stations in Reading and Woking, with integrated ticketing available for continuing journeys to regional and long-distance destinations via the National Rail network.

Terminal 2 is accessible to both bus and coach services from Heathrow Central bus station.

There are also several coach services operated by National Express operating to other London airports such as Gatwick, Stansted and Luton; and other cities in the United Kingdom.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Heathrow Terminal 1</span> Airport Terminal at London Heathrow Airport that was in operation between 1968 and 2015

Heathrow Terminal 1 is a disused airport terminal at London Heathrow Airport that was in operation between 1968 and 2015. When it was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in April 1969, it was the largest new airport terminal in western Europe. At the time of its closure on 29 June 2015 to make way for the expansion of Heathrow Terminal 2 it had been handling only twenty daily flights by British Airways to nine destinations. From May 2017 the contents of the terminal were put up for auction.

In its early years what is now Heathrow Airport was the Great West Aerodrome, sometimes known as Heathrow Aerodrome.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">West London Air Terminal</span> Airport terminal in London, UK

The West London Air Terminal was a check-in facility for British European Airways flights from Heathrow Airport. It was located on Cromwell Road in Kensington, London, and was in operation from 6 October 1957 to 1 January 1974. After passengers checked in their baggage and received their boarding passes, they would travel to Heathrow Airport by coach. One of the drawbacks of using the terminal for checking in was that road traffic could delay the coaches and ultimately delay the departure of the flight.

Gatwick Airport was in Surrey until 1974, when it became part of West Sussex as a result of a county boundary change. The original, pre-World War II airport was built on the site of a manor in the parish of Charlwood. The land was first used as an aerodrome in the 1920s, and in 1933 commercial flights there were approved by the Air Ministry.
