Chief executive John Holland-Kaye told the PA news agency that the UK’s busiest airport has “a long association” with the royal family. Heathrow wanted to mark the coronation by renaming Terminal 5 after the King, according to The Times. Terminal 2 at the west London airport has been known as the Queen’s Terminal since a rebuilding project was completed in 2014. Asked about the potential naming of Terminal 5, Mr Holland-Kaye said: “There would be a nice symmetry I think to have our two main terminals – Terminal 5 and Terminal 2 – named the King’s Terminal and the Queen’s Terminal. A Government spokesperson said applications for attributing royal titles are assessed against a strict criteria and are very rarely approved.
