Published Date: 13 May 2008
THE Heathrow airport chief who presided over the Terminal 5 opening debacle is to leave his job, airport operator BAA said today.
The Spanish-owned company, which has had a string of top-management changes of late, said Heathrow's managing director Mark Bullock had "chosen to leave" in the light of management-role changes announced by BAA recently.

Mr Bullock, who has been with BAA since 2004, will be replaced by Mike Brown, who is currently the chief operating officer at London Underground, who will join BAA in September.

Terminal 5, built for British Airways flights, had a disastrous opening on March 27 with flights cancelled, bags going astray and huge queues.

Last month, BA announced that operations director Gareth Kirkwood and customer services director David Noyes would be leaving following the T5 fiasco.

And it's about time. Bullock didn't have the "bullocks" to do the job because he had reached his level of extreme incompetence.

Woe is the company that next gets him to screw things up.

good to see that those responsible fall on their swords, unlike "bumbling" civil servants or poorly performing politicians and councillors...

Absolutely - it is good to see that, at least in some areas, there is still a level of personal accountability.

Sadly this man has fallen on his sword and many others will keep their heads down for fear of being seen as culpable. Time to root out BAA root and branch.

The disaster at T5 was a joint effort between BA and BAA. Is it not time for the head of BA to go to?

He's packed his bags and he's leaving as soon as they turn up again.
