All intersting posts but stating that you are actually thinking of building a terminal for themselves..............imagine the red tape, stuff-ups,hurdles and paper work that would generate!
I would like to see someone do it and stick it to the owners of the old AN terminal but realistically speaking its very impractical.
A much more realistic and profitable approach would be to iron out any existing hassles with SACL or whoever,bite the bullet and move to the terminal.
Christopher Corrigan knows it would cost alot more long term but also the advantages he is more than aware of.
I dont really think the pax would mind paying a few extra dollars for easier access,better baggage handling and the occassional food store,store,newsagent,Mac D's and cafe's.
You get what you pay for after all.
A deal will be done, probably not to the 100% agreeance of Mr Corrigan or SACL but it will be sorted.
Lets face it everyone - paying AUD$5.3 billion for an airport is a serious business, but so is investing over $250 million in
VB.
Both have businesses to run and an empty terminal with empty gates serves no party.
It's to the mutual advantage of both, almost symbiotic you might say.
