Heathrow Airport to auction off contents of Terminal 1

London From baggage carousels to airline signs and security scanners, the contents of a Heathrow airport terminal undergoing an upgrade will be auctioned off this month, the sale organisers said yesterday.

The sale of the contents of Terminal 1, once Europe’s busiest terminal, also includes 110 check-in desks, 1,200 airport seats and 9 travelators, CA Global Partners (CAGP) said in a statement.

“A sale such as this, comprising the entire contents and infrastructure of an entire major airport terminal is unprecedented,” Daniel Gray, managing partner of CAGP Europe.

Gray said some items were “iconic” and had “significant historic value”, while others could be repurposed for different industries.

“There may even be elements of the furnishing that would appeal to nightclubs or other entertainment venues,” he said.
