Heathrow Airport intends to demolish its old Terminal 1 building and expand Terminal 2 in a £10 billion investment plan. This expansion aims to increase passenger capacity by 10 million per year, marking a 12% growth. Terminal 1, which opened in 1969 and was once the largest in Western Europe, closed in 2015, and demolition has been planned for some time. Improvements will also include a new southern tunnel for better access and a 20% increase in freight capacity. The plan is subject to regulatory approval and needs planning permission before construction can begin.
