The airport has released a tender to redevelop an existing office building “within the airport terminal complex” and convert it to a hotel which is “within walking distance of the airports terminals”. Work would start in 2019.
Note the word terminals and not terminal. I assume they mean within the CTA but the only office buildings within the CTA are the airports HQ located between the tower and Easyland, which was a former Britannia Airways building and easyJet’s offices that front their hangar.
The airport’s HQ is not a big building in terms of its footprint or height, as there is only one additional floor above the ground floor so would not have many rooms. This just leaves the offices of easyjet who have been keen to move for sometime. Could this second scenario really be the case and that easyjet move out just leaving their hangar to carry on?
Hotels are another of the airports major growth areas. A second Ibis Hotel opened a few months ago with a Marriott hotel under construction now.
