Qantas at LHR
Are Qantas still moving their operations from Terminal 4 across to Terminal 3 in January. I understand this was to be around 16 January with the start of their A380 operations 3 days a week on the QF31/32. If not does terminal 4 have gates that have been upgraded for A380 ops yet??

What's the building work here?

I thought that the Europier was to be torn down to make way for Heathrow East? Looking at this, it appears that the South side of Pier 3 is PWFU and the Europier is to be extended. Looks out of place in this :

Seems the construction is the satellite pier for Heathrow East. While the main terminal development has been delayed somewhat, a £300M project to build the northern section of the new satellite has begun.

Heathrow expansion decision delayed By Peter Woodman, PA

Heathrow expansion decision delayed - UK Politics, UK - The Independent
A Government decision on expanding the UK's biggest airport has been been postponed, it was announced today.The Government had committed itself to making an announcement on Heathrow, including a third runway at the west London airport, before the end of this year. But Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon said today that he would not make an announcement until January 2009.
No surprise and I would not expect the decision to be announced in 2009. They might save it for the election run up in 2010, depending who they want to nice/nasty to.

If rumour control is true the seasonal Cleveland - London service is operating from Heathrow in 2009 after having been apparently planned from Gatwick as in previous years. It seems that having payed a premium for their initial slots, Continental have gained some more?
Given that these are only seasonal for a low-ish yield route, does anyone know where they got the slots from?

Slots currently deployed on COA110 and COA111 Newark rotations!
These get new later schedules COA110 ARRIVES @ 1025 and COA111 moves to a 1205 departure.
Looking at ACL both of these new slots for the Newark rotation may have come from the pool rather than via leasing!

Heathrow Mixed Mode Operations
Hello All,
Just read on the Times Online that Heathrow Mixed mode will possibly be introduced as early as next year. Aircraft will take different routes from the holding stacks to the new turning points. The points at which aircraft turn to enter their final approach, either from the east or west, will be moved eight miles farther from the airport. The point were aircraft will establish are Woolich to the East on Westerlies and Reading on Easterlies. Longer landing paths are needed to accommodate mixed mode procedures.
This in turn also means Major Airspace Changes are needed within the London TMA and for SIDs out of Gatwick.

According to the FT, LHR will get 3rd runway approval next week: FT.com | Westminster Blog | Heathrow decision next week
About time too.
About time too.
Should the approval come through, which reading the "leak" in The Times looks likely, it will be most important for BAA to get contractors in ASAP and start digging the ground (much of which they own already). And I mean start in days. Get the plant in and start excavating. Doesn't have to be letting the whole contract but just some quite extensive-looking preliminary works.
Once the work starts then a lot of impetus behind the opposition will dissipate. But if they mess about with start-of-work dates or set them in 2011 there continues to be scope for the project to be cancelled, for example if there is a sudden election.
It's not as if it hasn't been designed and re-designed in detail a dozen times by now.
