•New baggage system
This project is over a month ahead of schedule currently.

All stands on SAT3 where having the above replaced and modernised. Most stands have been completed and are operational. Most remaining work is painting work on and around the stands.
•Runway Works
Work was completed around 4 weeks ago on replacing runways lights to modern LED’s. Crucial runway maintenance was also done at this point.
Other smaller projects are ongoing such as light replacement and electric upgrades in different areas.
what are the major projects underpinning the transformation? At one stage I thought that MAG were planning to completely refurbish satellite 2 and 3 to bring them in line with satellite 1 (well, perhaps not satellite 3 as its FR turf), but satellite 2 could definitely do with an overhaul. The last time I travelled through there, the place looked as if it hadn’t been touched well before the end of the BAA days with very old carpeting, poor lighting, darkened corridors and light fittings not working on several of the jet bridges (of which none appear to have been used in years). It definitely looks very shabby and in poor relation to some of the other areas of the terminal- one does wonder why AA chose SAT 2 to operate their JFK service to and build their business lounge in when they served STN.
