So how long was it before much of that structure was demolished to build the Eurohub? Under ten years? So much hope and optimism back in those days, sky was the limit.
Less than that as Eurohub opened in July 1991. Does anyone recall how long it to to build? Working on two years would have meant that the smaller pier of the main terminal could only have been in operation for about five years or so. It's strange to think that when Eurohub opened it made the Main Terminal look quite dated externally and yet it was only 6 years old.
04/04/1984 was actually the day I was born; shame I don't remember my first flight (an Orion A300) to Palma but I was only 18 months at the time. Pity we never got a glimpse of the old bi-plane model that hung from the ceiling on the first floor in that video; I was always fascinated by that thing.
