Heathrow T4 re-opens after two years to help ease summer peak flights pressure

Heathrow Airport's Terminal 4 is reopening for the first time in two years after it It was forced to close during the pandemic. With a rise in passenger numbers and travel rules relaxing, the reopening of T4 will help deal with the 'summer peak' across all four terminals.

Qatar Airways is the first carrier to move operations and up to 30 more mainly long-haul airlines are set to follow. The move will allow Terminal 4 airlines more check in space and stand capacity and free up capacity in Terminals 2, 3 and 5.

Since its temporary closure, Heathrow has refurbished many parts of Terminal 4, including upgrading toilets, air conditioning and hold baggage screening machines. A wide range of retail, food and beverage outlets will also be available, and more will open during the summer as airline occupancy increases.
