Phase 1: preliminary works jan 08 - jul08

The first phase of changes will see the diversion of Terminal Circuit to accommodate the extension of the car park and to serve the new rental car park area. The rental car park will move to a larger site with a new covered pedestrian walkway link to the terminal. The Airport's car park capacity will be increased with an additional 450 car spaces in the short-stay and long-stay car parks. The taxi rank will also be relocated to the western end of the terminal building to provide improved queing capacity for both passengers and taxis.
