BAA still confident on Aberdeen Airport expansion
11.05.09
BAA bosses are still confident that the proposed runway extension at Aberdeen Airport will go ahead, despite falling passenger numbers and the deepening recession, the Press & Journal reports. It is investing £10million in an initial runway extension of 328 yards and an expanded international arrivals hall. The first phase of the programme, which is already under way, involves a bigger customs and immigration hall and improved baggage reclaim facilities, plus work on the airport car park.
Over the next decade, the company intends to spend £60million on extending the runway further still to allow bigger, more modern aircraft to fly from Aberdeen to destinations throughout the Mediterranean, North Africa and North America, as well as building a bigger, better-equipped terminal and new parking stands for aircraft. However, the plans were put together before the recession, when BAA was predicting passenger numbers at Aberdeen would rise to 5.9million by 2030.
