You can get on a Ryanair test flight that will use the new extension. A bargain at only fifty quid extra!

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

If they are testing one would imagine it’ll be built up.

So one flight (a Jet2 737-300), then the following day 2 flights. Then maybe later 4 flights with 2 at the same departure time.

Gradually build up resilience etc.

Where exactly do passengers egress from during this temporary phase? Is there a two way system on the security corridor or are passengers coming out of the temporary walkway straight onto the road?

Through a temporary tunnel built on scaffolding where the smoking shelter used to be and down to the area of the old ramp that has been demolished.

The temporary walkway is finally being dismantled and we're getting some good views of the baggage reclaim ramp and new traffic light system.

Out of interest, what is the space between the existing terminal and the extension looking like at the moment?

Just about ready to open up. All sealed from the elements. Not much to take a picture of from the outside. Only downside atm is the rather narrow corridor connecting the two which spoils the potential openness of the space. Obviously this will change as the old terminal is redeveloped.

Passengers on the LS470 today will be first to use the new arrivals border and baggage reclaim in a pre-opening trial

They actually trialed it for the first time on Tuesday morning with the Jet2 Mahon flight followed shortly after by a TUI flight. There was another trial yesterday too.

Ah my bad

 

[Scottie Dog]

Ah my bad

Is that with AFR, EZY or RYR?

I'd be interested in your views for which terminal you use.

Sorry about the slight thread drift.

And one on Thursday....

 

[Aviador]

Have they trialed more than one flight at a time yet? I think if there's going to be a crunch point it might be the temporary exit channel but I don't suppose there much they can do about that until they get the CSZ moved.

A friend has just confirmed that the extension will “go live” tomorrow.

If I copy them I’ll most likely get done for copyright. So you’ll have to make do with the link.

I think most of the new retail offering will be in the old part of the terminal when it's refurbished.

Yeap that’s what I’ve been told too. Understand Boots are leaving very shorty. Not sure if they are returning when project #REGEN part 2 is completed.
