SkyTeam Unveils Plans for London Heathrow Co-Location

As previously announced, SkyTeam's move to Terminal 4 will take effect over the next 12 months. In phase one, at the end of March 2008 , the U.S. carriers (Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines) will join KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Kenya Airways, who already operate out of Terminal 4. In the spring of 2009, the remaining SkyTeam carriers operating out of Heathrow (Aeroflot, Air France , Alitalia, CSA and Korean Air) will relocate. BAA anticipates approximately 10 million passengers* will be served out of Terminal 4 once all airline moves are complete and the ten SkyTeam alliance carriers are operating out of the co-location.
