Market Chatter: Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic to Challenge Heathrow Terminal Move

07:24 AM EST, 11/11/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Delta Air Lines (DAL) and its partner, Virgin Atlantic Airways, plan to challenge London Heathrow's decision to move Delta to another terminal, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing Virgin Atlantic chief executive officer Corneel Koster as saying at an airlines conference in London. The airport refuses to negotiate commercially and hides behind regulation, and the carriers will fight the plan and will not accept it, the report quoted Koster as saying. Koster described the relocation, which takes effect in 2028, as a bad call that would raise fares, the report said. Virgin Atlantic is determined to reverse it and legal and regulatory options are on the table, the report added, quoting Koster. Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
