BAA chief apologises to UK MPs on T5

The head of Heathrow operator BAA told MPs today that he was “not aware” in advance that there were likely to be problems with the airport’s new Terminal 5 (T5).

BAA chief executive Colin Matthews also told the House of Commons Transport Committee that 17 of T5’s lifts were still not working – more than five weeks after the £4.3bn (£5.5bn) facility’s disastrous opening on March 27.
