VIRGIN ATLANTIC has signed an agreement with BAA to renew and expand the carrier”s facilities at Heathrow”s T3. It will allow the airline to carry nearly twice as many passengers through the building. The new works will be designed by Foster and Partners and will be completed in phases from 2007 to 2021. The first phase will be ready for the arrival of Virgin”s first Airbus A380 in 2008. The carrier says Upper Class passengers will be welcomed at a new dedicated Drive Thru area, while the new facilities will be so compact that passengers will only have to walk as little as 200m from check-in to the gate.
