New Edinburgh Airport lounge on track for November opening
18.06.09
The first phase of a £40 million redevelopment of the terminal building at Edinburgh Airport will open in before the end of the year, it was announced today. The new-look departure lounge, offering more shops, bars and restaurants, will open in November, with the entire project due to be completed by early 2011.
The 5000-square-metre development includes a major expansion of the airport's departure lounge, offering more space for passengers to relax, as well as a wider choice of shops, bars and restaurants. It also includes a new purpose-built security search area, with the capacity for 14 X-ray machines. The new search area, which will be the final stage of the project to be completed, will speed up security measures for passengers, the airport's owner said.
About 200 jobs in the retail and construction sectors will be supported or created as a result of the development, the airport said.
