Upgrading three stands 452,453 and 454 as fully serviced code E/F remote parking stands and the fourth stand 451 as Code D/E with the update stands capacity for multi-choice aircraft usage and passenger loading by bus is achieved.
Requirements
Heathrow has a stated vision to become the UK’s gateway to the world and Europe’s hub of choice by making every journey better and this vision is supported by a number of strategic intents.
The provision of modern, safe and effective infrastructure can contribute towards the successful delivery of some of these strategies.
As a result of the Malaysian Airlines upgrade to A380 aircraft in summer of 2012, a high risk existed that the A380 aircraft would not be accommodated without disruption to pier-served stand planning and operation.
There are currently no remote Code F stands available which puts at risk T4’s low coaching rebate and Service Quality Rebate (SQR) score.
The objectives of this project included scope of works to upgrade three stands 452,453 and 454 as fully serviced code E/F remote parking stands and the fourth stand 451 as Code D/E with the update stands capacity for multi-choice aircraft usage and passenger loading by bus is achieved.
