[Smudger98]

Heathrow has unveiled a new temporary terminal to cater for athletes and officials involved with London 2012.

The terminal has been built solely for "Games Family" departures, and will be used for the three days after the closing ceremony on 12 August.

More than 10,000 athletes and 37,000 bags will be diverted away from the other terminals during the period.

Some 80% of Olympic visitors are due at the airport, with 13 August expected to be Heathrow's busiest day ever.
