It won’t be removed in the near future. It will be replaced by the 2 possibly 3 storey pier which will be built onto the end of the new extension and extend down to the stand 16 area. This is still in the planning stage and survey work for it will be taking place in mid November. I think the...

Vincent Hodder was being photographed and filmed outside the front of the terminal this morning with a group of people in suits. For the photos they were holding what looked like the Bahrain flag 🇧🇭 and Saudi flag 🇸🇦.

The 681 lounge has its own toilet, but the Avro lounge requires the use of the main toilets. I’m intrigued by your 3-4 minute walk to the toilets so I’ll pop to the new extension on my break and time it. I’ll report back shortly. From the lounge’s entrance to the entrance to the toilets...

It will now open towards the end of May, not the 1st May.

There will 5 international baggage belts and 1 domestic belt. You can see the 5th belt over to the left of the diagram.

The installation is not complete, the image is a CGI render. The first load of equipment has only just been delivered today. It will be finished in February. Currently half of the security area has been closed off hence the problems with the queues.

There are some images of the arrivals hall in the interactive PDF on the website.

Electric work will take place shortly to reroute existing underground cabling around the site of X25.
