So when CAAS finally build T4, you think it's gonna be for SQ or LCC?

Originally posted by milehighj View PostBA still operates several sectors from LHR T3, including (some?) flights to SIN.
I think that is true but is born out of problems getting in partners Qantas and Iberia. Maybe BA felt it was better to move/keep their flights at T3 instead of having Iberia and Qantas shift their entire operations to T5 as well?
The plan WAS at any state to have all the BA flights go through T5 so the terminal was made big enough to do that. Maybe a few operational hickups came in during the way with Bangkok, Singapore, Sydney, and Spain but the rest is working to plan.
Initially the domestic sectors remained at T1 but even those have moved over.

The fundamental problem with T3 is it doesn't have enough gates to handle all of SQ's flights at peak times. Passenger capacity wise, its capable. Now if SQ used remote gates..

Agree. You need to be good at predicting which terminal that SQ will be landing.

Relating to something we discussed before, this is what makes a farce of SQ not shipping their entire operation into T3, when all these other airlines are now also getting a bigger and bigger slice of the operation.
I still believe SQ should have taken the whole thing, and if it wasn't big enough.....design and build it big enough from the beginning. T5 at Heathrow clearly shows that a consolidation would be beneficial, reducing the need to switch terminals during a connection, or simply to pick up your car.
