Glasgow Airport celebrates skyhub milestone
08.04.08
Glasgow Airport has held a ceremony to mark the latest milestone in its 'skyhub' extension. Staff from construction firm Balfour Beatty joined representatives from the airport and Renfrewshire Council to hold a 'topping out' ceremony, a traditional celebration to recognise the the project's physical structure reaching its full height.
The £30 million, 4000 square metre skyhub extension is set to open to the public in October and is expected to transform the passenger experience. There will be a new, purpose-built security search area to reduce waiting times, as well as a host of new bars, shops, restaurants and lounges.
The airport's managing director, Gordon Dewar, smoothed the last section of concrete and led a toast to the workers. He said: ‘With skyhub, everything is under one roof. So, no matter where you're travelling, once you've passed through security, you can eat, shop or relax anywhere in the terminal.’
