"Recliner" gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying:

What I fail to understand is why the second satellite (5C) wasn't
scheduled to open at the same time as the rest of T5. It must surely
be more expensive to complete it surrounded by active taxiways and
parked planes than it would have been to do so when the rest of T5
was also a building site.


I suspect that the additional cost of building it surrounded by
"working terminal" is less than the cost of delaying T5 until that
bit was finished...


But it's not as if 5C is late -- it was always scheduled to be built a
couple of years later
