Work on Bristol Airport expansion steps up
15.01.12
The first part of major expansion work is beginning to take shape at Bristol Airport, the Western Mercury reports. The building work to increase the number of aircraft stands, the first of 30 different projects as part of the airport’s regeneration, started in November but in recent weeks the level of progress has stepped up after the airport was able to move on from months of legal wrangling.
The £150 million expansion project aims to allow the airport to cope with a projected increase in passenger numbers from 6 million last year to 10 million by 2020. The airport is currently increasing the number of stands from 26 to 33, and some stands have also been altered to allow them to accommodate larger planes. The first three new stands are due to be completed by the spring.
