Star Alliance gets on with its moves at London's Heathrow

STAR ALLIANCE carriers Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Blue 1, LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines are to surprisingly remain in Heathrow Terminal 3 until 2013.  Clearly the redevelopment of the predominately BA T1 is taking longer than anticipated.  Current Terminal 2 carriers - Austrian, Croatia Airlines, Lufthansa, SWISS and TAP will re-locate to Terminal 1 this coming summer.  bmi, essentially the T1 host airline, and the British member of Star Alliance, will launch a new lounge product in June as it moves the international lounge closer to its primary gates in the terminal.  With the new arrangement there will be a total of four lounges, Star Alliance First and Business Class, and two for bmi - one for domestic passengers and one for international. www.heathrowairport.com
