Alledgedly (), those revolving doors at international arrivals will be removed in the near future, as part of minor works within the terminal building. The airport have never bothered to listen to staff complaints over passengers getting trapped . Surely replacing them would free up the security staff who have to constantly man the doors whenever 1 flight arrives. The are apparantly going to be replaced by air lock sliding doors, which to be honest should have been used originally. I am not sure whether the entrance doors to terminal will remain, as the same problem occurs then. Oh and mostly they are either broken or wedged open, as the "terminal is running to capacity"!

Other works which, again alledgedly, are going to take place is the relocation of the information desk to the old greggs, with the out of gauge security desk being enlarged. Not sure this is required - the space could have been used to add 3/4 extra check in desks.

Oh and does anyone know if the staff are going to get their car park back? Again it would save money on the amount of bus runs, as staff used to walk the short distance?!
