-Other restaurants and shops in the IDL will be refurbished in the winter.
-A new Leon landside will be put in.
-Café Nero in the bus station getting a refurbishment.
-Larger seating area in arrivals. A communal seating area for all restaurants will be used instead of individual seating areas. This will increase seating landside.
-A new Burger King drive thru will be built along Thremall Ave heading towards the A120.
So a good few things to come in the coming year or so.
Good news! Does anyone have any pictures of where the new seating area is? (As this seems to have been excluded from the press and media photos).
In all honesty, I’m surprised MAG are spending more money into refurbishing restaurants/shops etc, given that the departure lounge redesign was only fairly recently completed in 2016/17. I’d had thought that there would be other areas that could be tackled first (e.g unfinished shoreline check in area; refurbishment of satellite 2 and satellite 3 gate areas etc, given that these haven’t been touched in years).
