News Release (07/12/09)
This winter we’re investing in a whole range of new facilities to make your journey through the airport more enjoyable.
We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause over the next few months and are doing our utmost to keep disruption to a minimum whilst work is being carried out. Our Customer Service team are also happy to help with any queries or assistance.
You'll find all the usual shops and restaurants are open as usual in the Departure Lounge, including Dexters and Burger King, so do make sure you give yourself plenty of time for check-in and security.
We’re investing in:
Covered Walkway from the terminal to aircraft stands
This £7.5m project, completed for May 2010, is a major investment to improve facilities for passengers using the airport. The new 450m covered walkway, which will include facilities for passengers with reduced mobility, will enable passengers to walk direct from the Departure Lounge to its eight embarkation pre-boarding zones without using buses.
New World Duty Free Store
Opening May 2010, the new, larger ‘walkthrough’ store will offer a more extensive range of products, including liquor, beauty, accessories and confectionery. The store will also offer a range of local products as part of a strategy to support local businesses and promote the ‘Best from the West’, and celebrate the region’s reputation for good quality food and drink
Refurbished toilets
Toilets throughout the airport are currently undergoing a refurbishment programme. This will be a phased approach with all complete for Spring of next year.
