I think the space will be used for additional security lanes.
Nothing much else to report just now but plenty of preparatory work going on behind the scenes.
Many thanks for the updates my friend, much appreciated
One thing that is unclear at the moment is that the new terminal extension was originally put forward as a replacement of the previous arrivals building project. In this way, everything (departure and arrival) facilities will remain consolidated under one roof (i.e. the existing terminal). CGI videos on Pascall and Watson's STN-TP webpage also confirm this. However, I did read somewhere recently that MAG have actually
not scrapped the arrivals building as originally thought. This has (apparently) now been pushed back until after the terminal extension has been completed and existing TTS decommissioned. My question though is, if the arrivals building is still on the table, why is this, if immigration and arrivals is going to be housed within the forthcoming terminal extension? Surely then that defeats the point of a dedicated arrivals building?
Edit:
This document seemingly confirms that the arrivals building will form part of a second phase of the TP at STN, but again, I have no idea why they would still go ahead with this if new arrival and immigration facilities will be constructed and housed in the new terminal extension??
