The abandoned Terminal 1 of Heathrow Airport has not seen travelers almost a decade – but what it has used now is incredible

Heathrow The airport sees tens of millions of passengers pass through every year, but most of them will never have stepped into its largest terminal – which now looks like a ghost city after the closure almost ten years ago.

The busiest airport of the UK has five vast terminals for modern planes and a huge inflow of passengers – but one is completely empty and only certain people are authorized to come in.

Officially inaugurated by the Queen in 1969, Terminal 1 once stood as the largest airport terminal in Western Europe.

Although it still exists, the precursor of Global Aviation closed its doors to the public in 2015 as part of Heathrow’s fast expansion plans.

The newer terminals of the airport were better equipped to keep track of the pace of international journeys, including the newly built Terminal 5, which saw a significant increase in flights that rises and land every day.

Despite the fact that Heathrow installs a larger departure clock, raised seats and extra retail and dining room, technology ultimately surpasses the use of Terminal 1.

By the time the last flight started for Frankfurt, Germany, on 29 June 2015, the terminal only operated 20 flights every day to nine destinations via BA, as reported by Mylondon.

After 46 years, T1 was closed, but its closure finally made way for the expansion of T2, a movement that seemed more logical than updating and maintaining the outdated space.
