NP Rank:
Heathrow T5 boss leaves BAA job
Mark Bullock had "chosen to leave" his job as the airport's managing director because of a change to management roles, according to Spanish-owned BAA.
Last week, MPs said the T5 fiasco had "made a fool out of the country" and called for an explanation.
Many flights were cancelled and thousands of bags lost when the £4.3bn terminal was opened in late March.
British Airways, which operates from terminal, said last month that two of its top executives - operations director Gareth Kirkwood and customer service director David Noyes - were leaving the airline following the problems at T5.
'Huge embarrassment'
BAA's chief executive Colin Matthews said Mr Bullock had "made a significant contribution to BAA and to Heathrow Airport in particular and has led the airport through a particularly challenging period".
He is to be replaced by Mike Brown, currently chief operating officer at London Underground.
