Virgin Atlantic. Virgin Atlantic is the UK’s second largest long-haul airline with a fleet of 40 aircraft. From summer 2013, Virgin Atlantic will operate domestic routes from Heathrow to Manchester, Edinburgh and Aberdeen following the award of ‘remedy slots’ as a result of IAG’s acquisition of bmi. These flights will initially operate from Terminal 1 (where bmi was based) before moving to Terminal 2 in 2014. Virgin Atlantic’s international flights will continue to operate from Terminal 3. Heathrow will continue to work with Virgin Atlantic on how its services might be co-located in the future.
Heathrow is still in discussion with those airlines which currently operate from Terminal 1 and are not members of the Star Alliance (El Al, Icelandair, Cyprus Airways, Germanwings and Transaero), about their future location when Terminal 1 closes. We expect to conclude these discussions in early 2013.

From Virgin:
"Following completion of this review, we have elected to remain in Terminal 3. We know our customers and our people love our unique facilities, our A-zone Check-in, the Upper Class Wing, Clubhouse, Gatehouse and Revivals and we will continue to work with Heathrow Airport to find ways to improve further on our unique ground offering.
Our immediate priorities are to achieve co-location in Terminal 3 of our short haul domestic and long haul operations."

Which would seem sensible if they want to seriously start to use a feeder model. Otherwise it's a largely pointless exercise that will make them want to revert to the West Coast Mainline. Hang on a minute...

Trouble is this review has been overtaken by todays events.
DL will not want their new investment in T3 and 2 or even just in T3 whilst they are in T4 with their AF/KL joint venture partners. None of us know the deal with SRB but I bet DL wont be as hands off at SQ were. They will want a return from their investment.

Wasn't it possible to walk between T2 and T3? It was effectively one joined up building?

Someone on here said it could not handle domestic flights....That does not mean that is the case..
I imagine BAA are looking at various options on how to accomodate VS domestics.

Its been a 9 month review. Are you saying that HAL have known about the VS/DL deal all this time, or just they hurriedly re-wrote it today?
Nobody yet knows what affect DL will have on VS, but, the status quo isnt sustainable.
