The oneworld airline alliance has announced a series of relocations at London Heathrow Airport following British Airways’ completed Terminal 5 move.
The Spanish airline Iberia will transfer its entire operation in the UK's largest airport from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 from February 25, 2009, while Finnair will reassign its flights from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 on January 27.
In addition, Qantas will move to Heathrow's third terminal later in 2009, completing the entire relocation of oneworld airlines to the base.
Heathrow's operator, BAA, is currently attempting to upgrade Terminal 3 to similar standards to the new Terminal 5, which opened at the beginning of the year under chaotic circumstances.
Oneworld was launched in September 1998 when American Airlines, British Airways, Canadian Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Qantas Airways formed an alliance. It now also includes Aer Lingus, Royal Jordanian, Japan Airlines, Mexicana and Malev.
