Glasgow Airport to get £11.2m upgrades
08.01.11
Glasgow Airport is set for £11.2m of upgrades this year. Owner BAA is spending £5.9m on the terminal building, including replacement of the original heating system; following a deal with an American company, more restaurants and a bar will be added; and a four-year project to improve the main aircraft taxi link to the runway, costing £2m, will also begin.
Managing director Amanda McMillan is also confident there will be a return to passenger growth this year. She said: ‘This investment will ensure that Glasgow Airport continues to provide high quality facilities for its passengers and deliver a smooth, efficient operation. Throughout the recession, we have continued to invest for the long term to ensure that Glasgow Airport is able to compete in an increasingly challenging market.'
'After a difficult period for the UK aviation industry, I am confident that we will see a return to growth in 2011. The investment we are making this year will allow us to deliver an improved service to our passengers and airlines, and make Glasgow Airport a more attractive choice for travellers.’
