all of the scheduled long haul carriers will be in T2. T3 will be some low cost and the smaller aircraft, with anticipated no wide bodies at T3 due to a widened parallel taxiway being installed past the 50's gates at T3.

the plans for the redevelopment are:

2016: new car parks to the west of T2, to enable 'staff west' and the infamous apron car park to be moved out.

2016-2018: new apron space created all the way towards the M56, with one of the new piers, and ultimately, the CBP pier, to be built and operational.

2018: pier C demolished and parallel taxiway system to T2 created. T2 main terminal area expanded and airside link to T1/3 created

2019: 2nd T2 pier construction. Expected to be pre-fabricated to minimise loss of apron space timings. Most, if not all, t1 airlines now moved to T2/3 and T1 no longer uses for check in and arrivals unless required.

2021-ish: gate 142 area of T3 to be demolished to allow parallel taxiway system to 23R, also taxiway alpha dueled.

2023: 3rd pier, primarily a code F pier created.

2024: Terminal 1 main area demolished.
