Better late than never I suppose....this was on Airports' wish list years ago but got binned by TBI when they first got control of the airport.
A SCHEME for a multi-million-pound extension to the terminal at Cardiff Airport has been approved.
Work on the project to improve the appearance of the airport will begin later this year.
Approval of the plans by Vale of Glamorgan councillors came as plans for a dedicated bus service to the airport were announced. The £5m-plus improvement will see the arrivals and departures halls linked into one large area, with new food and retail premises, and the building will get a contemporary design.
The first floor of the terminal will become “airside” as the security control point to access the departures lounge is relocated to the first floor. The approach area in front of the terminal building will also be redesigned.
Meanwhile, Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones has approved the specification for a dedicated airport express bus service. It will be a limited-stop service between Cardiff Airport and Cardiff city centre.
hmm..security relocates from first floor to,er,first floor??
and limited stop bus service...wow..thats' not new either....I can remember the old Western Welsh route that did the same (350/351)
with no stops between City Centre and Cwm Ciddy...
Ah well at least there's the new radar to look at.....going round and round
even if its' not transmitting yet.
And would someone kindly point out to Russ C that youre not supposed to park technically armed aeroplanes (2 of Her Majesty's Tornado's) pointing at civilisation....just in case something goes bang y'know.
