Willie Walsh, BA’s Chief Executive said the company wanted to make sure everything was working properly before more strain is put on the system.

"We are making this decision in the interests of customers," he said. “Though Terminal Five is now working well, we need to have confidence that good service can be maintained when the terminal is handling larger numbers of customers."
