Mr A Tis...
I believe that the staff deli and staff shop will close at the end of September. Within the plans for the terminal are improvements to the arrivals hall area, which will include new shops and catering facilities for staff and also for members of the public not travelling. This is also the case for Terminal 2 once landside becomes airside over there. Included in the proposals for T2 are a Boots and a Spar in arrivals as well as a new food court.
I have been fortunate to see the plans for both the T1 and T2 redevelopment schemes and they are both very ambitious. Not only are the security search areas being moved/improved but the exisiting airside retail and catering facilities will be given huge makeovers. The terminals will be unrecognisable by next summer. How much of what is proposed will actually materialise is another matter but seeing as both schemes have been given the go-ahead and work on the T1 scheme has actually begun, hopefully what is on those plans will be what we get.
