BAA has announced details of multi-million-pound package of investment planned for Edinburgh Airport in 2008. The works will include a £16m project to resurface the airport's main runway, which will begin in March and last for about eight months.
Additional X-ray machines with the latest technology will be installed to help meet a target of getting 95 percent of passengers through security search in under five minutes. Passengers will also see the benefits of a £29m project to double the size of the departure lounge, which is due to get under way towards the end of the year, will include a new security area, additional seating and extra shops and facilities.
Three new aircraft stands are being constructed at a cost of £13m, to cope with extra planes as the number of new international services at the airport continues to rise. In addition other developments will include an £8m consolidated car rental centre and upgraded and modernised toilet facilities throughout the terminal. |
