Changing faces of the link building

Once there was just the original terminal but before the new terminal was built an extension and additional check-in area was built at a right angle. Later when the new terminal was built this area was changed to form a link between the new terminal and the old terminal which was being used as the departure lounge with limited shopping. Later still it became the arrivals hall with security lanes added above it. I don't have any photos of the check-in desks or remember which airlines used them but this is what I do have taken over the years.





With the original extension still visible in the background




The final picture was taken a few months ago as ground samples were taken to allow the bus station to be built over as a terminal extension. Last week saw arrivals move to a temporary location to allow yet another use for the ground floor when it will become passenger security as they pass to airside.
