It wont be taking up gate space for 8 hours. They will move the plane to a remote stand.

Here is the gate usage at Terminal 5 throughout the day this summer. Bear in mind that some gates only fit narrow body aircraft and some gates are blocked off or size restricted if a neighboring gate is occupied. However, there is still some available space available during peak times.

All together it's 60 international destinations to 27 countries.



Down to only 2 passenger daily 747 flights.
