Construction update

The first of the new entrances has opened. At the moment it is signposted as arrivals but will eventually be signposted as departures.




In the distance the ceiling can be seen being installed. Either side will be retail outlets.


Arriving passengers can pass either side of the coffee shop that is under construction to the left. To the right will be the relocated burger outlet.


So far one shop and one food outlet is open. All the old retail outlets in the existing check-in area are closed and the whole area is now boarded up.


The new travel centre has been opened but I am not sure if this is the final layout.


Work continues on the pedestrian subway. The road will be raised to pass over the passenger route from the second multistory to the terminal.


While at the same time work continues on the new drop off zone.


I have got to say the light is now at the end of the tunnel as far as the terminal is concerned. Also with the old temporary arrivals area now closed all arriving and departing passengers share the same concourse. This makes the airport look really busy with passengers and visitors everywhere which means taking photos involves a long wait.

There is no doubt that the airport is being transformed out of all recognition over the last 3 years.
