The new domestic facility is most likely somewhat temporary until something bigger is developed there. The current STN-TP proposals don't really address landside arrivals and forecourt capacity, so that's what will be principally provided by a future arrivals development, as that's not within the current STN-TP scope.
FRatSTN, I agree. I can't see MAG proceeding with the original specs of the original arrivals building when it was announced in 2017, but even so, I still dont understand why MAG would build a (modified) standalone arrivals facility/building (as the document alludes to in a second phase of STN expansion) when arrivals/immigration is due to be relocated away from its current location to a new area within the terminal extension. The notes in that document I included in my previous post aren't very clear; I was always under the impression that the arrivals building had been scrapped some time ago in favour of the now approved plans for the terminal extension.
