Transwede
How long ago were you at Newcastle?
The new ish! 27million pound terminal extension, which has been operating two years now, alone has an 27 extra check in desks. The final work on the pier segregation is going on now and the other planned terminal work including combining the Int/dom security is for extra shops i.e. revenue makers!
The terminal has been rated for 5 million pax – p/a that is.
I agree a second pier could be of use and aircraft parking may be a little tight this summer. But we will see!
