Heathrow's decision to separate Delta and Virgin Atlantic sparks competition concerns and potential legal challenges.
London Heathrow Airport has ordered Delta Air Lines to relocate from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4 in 2028, affecting the joint venture with Virgin Atlantic. The move comes after a major review of terminal occupancy at Heathrow.
