:04:11. > :04:13.But the opening has been very carefully managed to avoid

:04:14. > :04:16.the chaotic scenes witnessed at the airport just a few years ago.

:04:17. > :04:23.Here's our Transport Correspondent, Tom Edwards.

:04:24. > :04:31.Light, cavernous, but not that busy. Welcome to terminal two with smiles

:04:32. > :04:44.and champagne as the opening went pretty well. How are you finding it?

:04:45. > :04:49.It is fine. The old terminal was dark and this is much nicer. It is

:04:50. > :04:56.an improvement. This was thd arrival an improvement. This was thd arrival

:04:57. > :05:00.of the first flight. Only 34 will use the new terminal today. Bosses

:05:01. > :05:06.said they learned lessons from the opening of terminal 56 years ago.

:05:07. > :05:12.There were delays, cancellations and lost bags. This time there were many

:05:13. > :05:19.rehearsals. It is sweetness and light compared to the catastrophic

:05:20. > :05:26.opening of terminal five in 2008. Terminal two opened in 1955. The new

:05:27. > :05:32.terminal, an attempt to improve the passenger experience, cost ?2.5

:05:33. > :05:37.billion. This is also about expectation management. This has

:05:38. > :05:42.been a very soft launch, only running the terminal at 10%

:06:01. > :06:06.third runway is similar to what we have spent. Not a penny of public

:06:07. > :06:09.money has gone into this expansion. We can deliver all of that for

:06:10. > :06:15.London, privately, and on btdget. We London, privately, and on budget. We

:06:16. > :06:24.can deliver a third runway barely ten years away. We have 17 flight a

:06:25. > :06:28.day and it is a really important airport for us. It is important to

:06:29. > :06:31.breed and grow. Expansion t`lk airport for us. It is important to

:06:32. > :06:36.breed and grow. Expansion t`lk might not please local residents or

:06:37. > :06:40.campaigners. Whilst the opening of terminal two is about passengers

:06:41. > :06:43.today, it is also about Heathrow's tomorrow. Now it is time for the
