As the busy summer months arrive we're going to be sharing some of the big improvements you'll see when next travelling through the airport.
A host of projects are currently being worked on with the aim of raising standards for all passengers throughout the terminal - whether you're departing or arriving - and we're looking forward to telling you all about them.
What you say matters to us and that's why these improvements have been informed by feedback from passengers and our own teams across the airport.
Improvements include:
Update: The new Special Assistance reception near gate 12 has now opened to passengers after the project to improve the space was completed.
And much more to come...
Different projects will complete at different times so stay tuned as we share more information on the improvements you'll see when next travelling.
