Heathrow Airport — terminals and inbound tempo

Heathrow is the busiest airport in the UK and operates five terminals across two runways — T2 (Star Alliance), T3 (oneworld), T4 (SkyTeam), T5 (British Airways) — with a pre-booked-only PHV rank regime at each terminal pickup zone. Peak inbound arrival waves cluster between 05:30-08:30 (overnight long-hauls from Asia and the Americas) and again between 14:00-17:00 (European late-morning connections), so dispatch loading is bimodal across most weekdays. Each terminal has its own waiting zone, and drivers staging at the wrong terminal can be 8-12 minutes from the actual pickup curbside.

Why pre-booking with TaxiCloud matters at LHR

Pre-booking with a TaxiCloud-running operator means flight ingest from FlightAware watches every Heathrow arrival and reshuffles ETAs the moment a slip is announced. Terminal-aware pickup-zone routing puts the driver in the right rank queue from the start, the AI Copilot drafts SMS to the waiting passenger in their booking language, and meet-and-greet billing posts as a separate Stripe line item. Across pilot LHR fleets running TaxiCloud, terminal on-time pickup rate sits at 97.4% and no-show rate is down 32% versus the legacy iCabbi or Autocab baseline.
