Details below of that development from the architects site. Small change relative to 220million in fairness even if it was 1999. If anything it shows how little has been spent on SNN in recent years when you put it alongside Waterfords 27million..an airport that has iirc 100k per year?
Will try to find the press on those other figures for you. Have the link somewhere.
This Euro 29.2m / £23m redevelopment at Shannon Airport comprises the extension of the existing 1970’s Terminal Building to the West and South and the refurbishment of the current Arrivals Hall. The design of the Building revolves around the specific needs of the passenger for clarity of orientation, ease of movement and for an environment which avoids the introspective aspect of many airports. The elevations and materials signify the functional organisation of the building and attempt to convey the special and unique character of this historic location as the gateway to the West of Ireland.
The new accommodation includes a Departures Hall, Check-in Desks, Car Hire and Airline Desks, a 300 seater Restaurant, Bar and additional office space. The top level viewing areas provides for visibility of stationary and airborne aircraft as well as views of the local landscape and the Shannon Estuary.
