Terminal 3 The old “Oceanic Terminal” is mainly Oneworld, but with added Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic – and home to Emirates, with six mighty Airbus A380 aircraft shipping almost 3,000 passengers a day to Dubai. Terminal 4 A right muddle, It is partly SkyTeam, partly Oneworld, the Abu Dhabi carrier Etihad, plus a veritable United Nations of non-aligned airlines including Air Algerie, Air Astana, Air Serbia, Azerbaijan Airlines, Biman Bangladesh, Bulgaria Air, China Southern Airlines, KM Malta Airlines, Kuwait Airways, El Al, Etihad Airways, Gulf Air, Oman Air, Tunisair, Uzbekistan Airlines, Vueling and WestJet.

Terminal 2 and 3 American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Iberia and Qantas stay put – and are joined by the entire British Airways operation, spread across both terminals.
