New airlines into LHR
Anyone know whom will be handling Northwest, Delta and US Airways at LHR for their respective new flights starting next summer due to open skies?
Im sure Aviance will continue to expand as they seem by far the biggest agent at LHR at the mo

I think that Delta will be handled by Air France Services Limited as they will be checking all Delta and Air France flights to USA at the same desks. Delta and Air France will operate jointly between Heathrow and the US: JFK and Atlanta operated by Delta aircraft and crew and Los Angeles operated by Air France aircraft and crew.
As this is a strong partnership I'd be surprised if it did not include the ground handling too.
US Airways is member of Star Alliance, so I'd say United but they fly to a different terminal. So maybe Menzies, Aviance etc.

Terminal Changes
Has it been decided yet where all the non-aligned airlines from T2 will be going? It all seems like such a mess at the mo!
From what I can gather:
T2>>T1 = Austrian, Croatia, Lufthansa, Swiss, TAP Portugal,
T2>>T3 = Clickair, Iberia
T2>>T4 = Aeroflot, Air Astana, Air France, Alitalia, China Eastern, CSA, Libyan Airlines, Syrianair, Tunisair
T2>>T? = Air Algerie, Air Seychelles, Air Transat, Azerbaijan, Bellview, Bulgaria Air, Luxair, Malév, Olympic, Royal Air Maroc, Sudan, Tarom, Ukraine Int'l, Uzbekistan, VARIG, Yemenia
And for the other terminals:
T3>>T1 = Air Canada, Air New Zealand, ANA, SAS, Singapore Airlines, Thai, United
T3>>T4 = Korean Air
T4>>T3 = Qantas
Anyone have any updates on the above?

it will be awesome to work on a 762, never done that before. Just a shame we're not handling DL.
Just a thougth sure someone will shoot me down but wouldn't it make sense for KL and AF handling to merge?

At the moment ground handling and maintenance are not involved in the Air France - KLM group. Ground services and maintenance are done by Air France or KLM owned ground handling agents. Even though funnily enough Air France does not provide ramp handling in CDG.
If they actually decided to merge the two it would be a sale, all airlines have sold their global handling agents...
