Terminal extension work started
30.12.11
Work has started on a £3.2m extensi0on to Newcastle Airport, which will cut waiting times for passengers. A three-storey 5,000sq ft annex will be built to house a bigger security area, which is on schedule for completion in the spring. The extension will also envelop the airport’s Metro link bridge.
Graeme Mason, the airport's planning and corporate affairs director, said: ‘After the New Year break, passengers will start seeing the extension take shape alongside the existing terminal. We want to make customers’ journeys through security as quick and efficient as possible.’
In recent months the airport has been revamped to increase the number of passport inspection desks from 4 to 6.
