New Terminal 2 will transform passenger experience at Heathrow

• Most passengers will be travelling through new facilities in 2014
• Most transfer passengers will change aircraft in the same terminal
• 20 million passengers a year will use the new £2.5bn terminal
• Terminal to house Star Alliance airlines
• Facility will use 40% less carbon than the old Terminal 2
