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:
🆕| Our new PRM and special assistance reception is open to passengers. This space, near gate 12 in departures, is designed to improve the experience of passengers requiring assistance as they travel. Dominique from our ops team explains more in the video below.
🧳| Hear more about the improvements we're making at check-in. New self-service bag drop kiosks are being introduced as part of the wider £5.8m project to redevelop the hall. Angela from the airport's IT team explains the benefits this technology will bring.
👩🍳| Four new food and drink outlets are on the way. Work is ongoing across our departure lounge to improve the choice of restaurants and bars as we welcome some tasty new additions. Linsey from the airport's retail team explains more.
🆕| Hear more about what we're doing to improve our check-in hall. Zones A and D will be redesigned over the winter months creating more space, a more modern look and feel, and a better experience for passengers. Fionna from our operations team explains more.
🆕| We're making improvements to our airside PRM and special assistance area following passenger feedback. We're building a new and improved space, with the current area moving to a temporary location from today. Greg from our Ops team explains more.
Update: The new Special Assistance reception near gate 12 has now opened to passengers after the project to improve the space was completed.
