All the Skyteam airlines that fly into Heathrow have agreed to progressively shift their terminal operations from Terminals 2 and 3 to more integrated operations at Terminal 4 by 2008. This will facilitate easier connections between the airlines, and includes some upgrade of service areas and checkins. It will follow BA’s shift of its major international operations from Terminal 4 to the new Terminal 5, which will provide ample capacity for all Skyteam airlines to use Terminal 4. In addition, it will coincide with the closure and demolition of Terminal 2 (which is to make way for expansions of Terminals 1 and 3). While Heathrow is not a base for any of the Skyteam airlines, and none of the Skyteam US carriers are currently permitted to fly to Heathrow, this will increase the attractiveness of the airport for international connections for Skyteam frequent flyers.
