Growth
BRS has announced yet another record month for passenger numbers - this time for May with over 656,000, a rise of nearly 8% on May 2014.
The eastern extension to the terminal building that's due to open next month will certainly be needed as it's likely that around 750,000 will pass through in August, and not that many fewer in June and July.
Robert Sinclair, airport CEO, stated, “The high levels of growth experienced already this summer highlight the importance of the significant investment we are making to enhance passenger facilities. Completion of the eastern terminal extension will be followed by another major project to improve key aspects of the airport experience, and we expect to announce details of this exciting development soon.
I take it the 'exciting development' relates to the western terminal extension that has been mentioned recently, including a reference in the minutes of the last airport consultative committee meeting.
