  BA apologises for T5 troubles

  By Ann-Marie Canavan TECHNICAL hitches marred the opening of the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow yesterday (Thursday). British Airways which is the only airline set to use the £4.3billion terminal was forced to cancel 34 outgoing flights after technical difficulties. There was also a number of problems involving passenger luggage with technical difficulties leaving flyers facing major delays collecting their luggage. British Airways chief executive Willie Walsh said: "We sincerely apologise to those customers who have suffered disrupted journeys or baggage delays during the first day in Terminal 5. We always knew the first day would represent a unique challenge. "A number of early problems grew during the course of the day which led to significant disruption for our customers. I would like to thank our colleagues at BAA who are working alongside us to resolve the issues." Cancelled services in and out of the terminal included flights to Munich, Frankfurt, Paris and Brussels as well as Glasgow and Aberdeen. Mr Walsh added: "I am very sorry that the problems have meant that some of our customers did not experience the true potential of this amazing new building. "Terminal 5 is a magnificent piece of transport infrastructure that will be enjoyed over the coming decades by hundreds of millions of customers. "Whatever short-term difficulties there may be, we have no doubt that it will prove to be a facility of which we, and the whole country, will feel proud." The airline also went on to say that that the problems in the first day of operations were caused by a combination of factors. These included delays at the staff car park and at security and log in problems for baggage handlers reporting for duty. This caused operational problems throughout the day associated with processing customers' baggage. Customers will be able to check in both hand and hold luggage. Customers should check on ba.com for up to date flight information or telephone the airline on 0800 727800 for more information. International customers should contact their local British Airways office. Were you caught up in the T5 chaos or work at the terminal? Let us know via the comment panel below.
