Regards the New terminal and Runway, expect nothing significant for at least a year as both are still in the early planning stages. The time scales for both remain in place. The next steps are to appoint main contractor, architect, engineers etc to the T2 project, expect no concrete design to be unveiled for a year at least. There is also the extension to the current terminal which was recommended in the report by pascal / watson. Ive heard nothing new about this extension.
A new extension (non public ie staff only) is to be built onto Pier C, this has already been submitted for planning permission.
Temp LCC pier (this has full planning permission already) to be erected on the pier D site for the summer.
By the time EI starts Dubai,transfers will again be possible with a new desk in arrivals. - great for the airports chances of attracting more l/h flights
The facelift of the Pier B Retail area continues, and part of the mezzaine food floor will now be accessable straight from 'the street' area.
The arrival of DLs additional JFK and ATL flights this year will presumably cause more problems to the already outgrown US Immigration area and affect morning stands availibility of Pier B.
