Terminal facilities to handle 8.3million pax by 2015, 12.3million pax by 2030, currently just gone through 5million pax MAT. Main terminal extension (with piers also) with finger extensions both to the east and west of the main terminal building.
Runway extended to 9022' and to include starter strips at both ends. Parallel taxiway to the north of runway lengthened to include the new runway extension. New parallel taxiway to the south.
Apron extension will be practically the full length of the extended runway. New apron to the south of the new southern taxiway.
New cargo centre (named World Cargo Centre) forecast to handle 220,000 tonnes to be built to the south of the runway. It must be remembered that the airports owners, Peel, also now owns the Port of Liverpool (MDHC) and expects to see greater synergy between the airport and seaport.
New airport only access road to link into the Ford Road/A5300 Knowsley Expressway (this is the continuation of the M57).
