Passenger flow is a major problem, especially when it comes to boarding. Gate 4, 5, 7 and 8 seem to be the only really useable ones, and even then 4 and 5 have a poor excuse for fences/chains to keep PAX separate, and 7 and 8 can't be used if there is an inbound flight! 7a requires PAX to walk across the inbound corridor then past gate 7, 2 can only be used to board onto a bus across the airside road, 3 is only useful for stand 8 - which has an airbridge, and 5a means PAX have to go upstairs then downstairs before being out on the ramp - not pleasant for the elderly/prams. Domestic arrivals is not too bad - close to the domestic stands.
Very good points, I think they will probably address these problems by moving the security screening up to 1st floor level, and redesigning the layout of the boarding lounges/gates at the same time. Realistically departing pax need to be taken to 1st floor level, and arrivals kept on the ground floor, wherever possible.
Hall B, is this a Temporary structure, or is it to permanent?
