Passing today I notice that work on erecting the landside steel work has progressed rapidly since the picture Adrian took only a couple of weeks ago, posted above by Dave. The majority seems to be in place including the support for the new section of roof, so I presume that in the next few weeks we'll see the floors and stairs going in followed by the first sections of external cladding and glazing.
Work will have to move at quite a pace though if it's to be operational by June...!

Work is about three weeks behind schedule due to the late arrival of steel work.

Upstairs is still open but very restricted by the work going on. Burger king window is available but the former cafe area adjacent is now used for queing. You can only get to it if there are no queues.

Some new photos of the new expansion below:-  The floor is in and the concrete poured but the lower floors are just steelwork at the moment.  The bridges between the hangar and main building have been put in place. (Sorry about the quality the sun was shining and reflecting on the window.)  The concrete is being poured on the connecting corridor to the hangar at the end of the main building. |

Likely in future all hangers will be merged together to form a pier, perhaps airbridges will follow.....

Will this new facility also include a new arrival area to replace that dreadful passport control area in current use? That really is an embarassment - it is a pretty bleak first impression of the city. It is actually a pretty creative way to use those white elephants, err I mean hangars. In time, I presume they can utilize the second and third hangar for passenger handling as well and perhaps eventually lead to the removal of those portacabins on the east side of the hangars.

Under the Masterplan all the hangars will become part of the terminal.
