Well who knows, but I do know that those are the plans of the BAA. (The guys in ATC told me that on wed when I was in the tower.) They could just level the "low cost" pier rebuild it, build another pier onto it, and move all the international traffic to the 2 new piers. Then use the current international pier for domestic traffic. Just a thought.
Hey Codpiece maybe we could work together for once and send the BAA a bill for our building consultancy work??
