Sealink I agree the terminal will be and is more user friendly and welcoming and BHD than the deteriorating state of Aldegrove. After arriving at BFS recently even with the current ''improvement'' works the terminal feels still stuck in the 20th century! The terminal is also dirty cold and poorly laid out No wonder Easyjet and possibly others are reviewing a move.
The thing is pre-2001 BHD's terminal was third world, it had to be up graded, so the only option was a rebuild, there is no excuse for it not to be a good design. The problem with BFS is that since 2001 BHD has been slowly but surely pinching it's clients. Without a coherent policy from the government on local aviation, it is no surprise that the owners are slow to invest at BFS. Why would you as an owner invest ££££millions if there was the potential for a constrained airport next door to become unconstrained. The fact that the substantial part of BFS is existing means that they are going to work around whats there so no big new clean modern looking fancy finishes. You generally only get that feel when you start from scratch.
