The food court upstairs is too small nevermind departures and the lack of space for boarding i could go on .... SAD
The checkin desks look pretty fixed at this stage - don't think there are any plans there to move them with just 6 weeks to go and I didn't look at the ticket desk. We were told that the terminal was designed for >5M passengers. The food court has seating for 320+ (that video arcade area is now part of the foodhall). Whats impressive to my eyes is the engineering that went into the building, 10kva ups supply, dual homed network, cat6 cabling, voip, cctv over ip, gigabit ethernet, heat recovery, highly integrated baggage and security system etc.. And of course, the timber supported roof... now thats a piece of work..

Joe and his team are most certainly not resting on any laurels. Above everything else they are committed to the success of this airport.
