British Airways has delayed moving most of its long-haul flights to Heathrow's new Terminal 5 until June.
The new £4.3bn terminal has been plagued by problems, especially with its baggage handling, since it opened.
Almost all of BA's long-haul flights were supposed to switch from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5 on 30 April.
Sixty arrivals and 60 departures per day were due to be moved. Customers whose terminal has been changed will be contacted shortly.
BA chief executive, Willie Walsh, said: “It is only sensible to ensure that Terminal 5 is operating consistently at a high standard before the move begins.”
