Two new fuel tanks awaiting install. Same size as existing tanks by the looks

. For those of us wondering exactly where the new seating and loo’s are from those pics posted a few weeks back, well, remember that corridor you walked along from the old bit to the new bit which had good apron views, that has now gone. It’s basically just to the left of that area. We could hear work being carried out where the apron view windows were so hopefully they’ll come back.

The area you mentioned where the windows are, that's going to become an extension to the former arrivals corridor. The walkway will link the departure gates with the west end of the terminal, and the west end of the terminal with the new domestic arrivals and the new international arrivals.

This might sound a dumb question but may clear things up for other forum members as well, but the area between the new departure lounge and the old departure area, the bit that currently consists of the long white mazy of a corridor with a large section we currently cant see into because of construction , well is that eventually going to become part of the departure lounge, so basically joining the two together to form a huge departure lounge?

Not a dumb question as I've been wondering that as well. Hopefully someone on here can clarify this for us all.

If you see my earlier post. The red area is a two channel walkway with several stairwells along the route. It will be used by arrival and departure flights to and from the extension. It runs from the west side of the terminal up to the point where it reaches the new building. From that point it continues via a stairwell to the ground level and on to the new immigration area.

Im still no clearer. currently pax have to walk down a maze of a walkway to arrive at the new dep lounge, so surely both lounges are to be joined together? So my question is are both departure lounges going to be joined together, yes or no?

 

[Aviador]

Yes

 

[LBA4EVER]

Yes

Thankyou, wow so its going to be one heck of large departure lounge once completed. Really looking forwards to seeing the completed works in the old part of the terminal, Onwards and upwards!

@LBA4EVER I understand it will be nearly as long as the runway and certainly flatter
Joking aside this sounds really good news and if this is to help us handle 7mppa in the future then it will need to be this big

Well of course it will be flatter but not much in it when it comes to length
But yes certainly looking forwards to seeing the terminal works completed.
