BA to introduce fingerprint checks at Heathrow

British Airways passengers are to become the first in Britain to have their fingerprint taken as a matter of routine, the Times newspaper reports. From next year all passengers travelling on BA's domestic flights from Heathrow will have to give their fingerprint and have their face scanned as part of the security check prior to take off.

The new biometric techniques, which will be introduced at Terminal 5 when it opens on March 27, were being implemented as a result of 'recent security threats,' airport operator BAA said. Similar procedures are already in force in other countries, including the US.

BAA said the checks, which will take place at the normal security point and then again immediately prior to boarding, had become necessary because Terminal 5 had a common departure lounge for international and domestic passengers. These lounges leave open the possibility that a passenger arriving on an international flight could board a domestic flight from the common area and evade immigration control.

Existing terminals which have common lounges for international and domestic passengers, such as Gatwick, get around this problem by requiring all domestic passengers to have a photo taken, which is then printed on their boarding pass. The spokesman added that while there were no plans yet to introduce biometric security checks across all airports such checks were 'definitely the way of the future'.

Airport transfers

Airport security has been stepped up again as a result of the incident at Glasgow airport. One of the direct effects has been the restriction of passenger pick up and drop off close to Heathrow airport terminals and restrictions at other UK airports.

Apparently airport parking transfers have the priority to operate - meaning that shuttle buses still have access to drop off and pick up passengers close to the terminals. We strongly advise that you book your airport parking in advance - giving you a clear passage and a worry free journey to check-in - booking parking in advance is not only cost effective it also really makes sense to avoid delays and congestion accessing the airport.

Parking4less
advise the use of airport parking. Arrive at check-in early without having to spend vital time searching for a space and, with a free transfer, avoid the need to drive to the terminal.
