"Interesting news about the terminal. Wonder if it'll turn out to be another bodge."

handsfree,

I don't know what in your view has been "bodged" before, but as has already been stated, the work on the terminal will entail yet another "bolt-on" structure which will house security.
Although this approach is far from ideal it must be accepted that this is the only way forward for the airport to expand. If you think there is any chance of demolishing what is already there and building a new terminal then think again, it isn't going to happen...!
What is more important is that the issue of passenger comfort is addressed asap, particularly the problem of transit between aircraft and terminal in bad weather, but I believe plans are in hand to address this?

One final dig regarding the airport's poor communication skills; AF6404 has been missing off the arrivals board ever since the code share flights were included......ahh they did try though, bless their little cotton socks!
