Our airport transformation
Over the next few years, we’ll be investing over £400m to transform the airport experience for all our customers.
Next Generation Security Technology
Completed June 2024
We've invested £11.5m in state-of-the-art technology. The new process delivers a much more customer friendly security operation and provides enhanced screening, allowing customers to keep personal items in their hand luggage
New Transport Interchange
Opens summer 2025
We're investing over £60m on transforming the entrance to the airport, creating a smoother arrival and departure. Opening summer 2025, this new facility will enhance our public transport and car park offering.
Key features
-
New public transport interchange
This will be one of the region’s largest bus/coach interchanges. It will improve public transport links across the region and will more than double the existing capacity to 16 bays.
-
Additional car parking spaces
There will be a new dedicated Drop Off and Pick-up location, increased multi-storey car park capacity with an additional 2,000 spaces and blue badge parking.
-
Level access to the terminal
The terminal will be accessed via a glazed pedestrian bridge link and the internal road design will segregate pedestrians and vehicles, making it safer for everyone.
And more to follow….
We’ll also be investing in a range of other projects throughout the airport to transform the customer experience over the next five years. This next phase includes a bigger, better Departure Lounge with a broader retail and catering offering.
