Travellers at the new terminal at Heathrow airport, which will be opening in the month of March next year, will have a tough time ahead-at least thirty-five minutes in the queue for security check before boarding the flight.

This could sound a bit tough to the passengers using Heathrow Airport, but the airlines is making it sure that there is no flight delay and also that traffic is put under check to allow smoother functioning of the processes. Very recently, British Airways has come under severe criticism for its lack of punctuality, and now wonder that the airlines is taking some steps to improve its image.

British Airways, which is the only tenant at Heathrow airport's T5, is tracking down to improve its disappointing punctuality. Even without the type of failure that was seen both at Heathrow and Gatwick prior to Christmas, British Airways' exercises consistently fail the carrier's own targets. For the week ending on the 16th of December, less than one flight in three left on the scheduled time, as compared to the company's target of 52 percent.

It is taken as to be for the first time that a carrier has taken such a thick line on travellers who have already completed the check in process.

However, passengers on standby will be the one and only exception to the thirty-five minute check. These passengers will get an additional grace of 5 minutes to enable them to know for the reality that the assignment of their seats will be done only after the check-in.
