Glasgow Airport has
announced details of a ten million pound investment in a major
makeover, in preparation for the 2014 Commonwealth
Games.
The money will be spent during 2013 on refurbishing and enhancing
key parts of the main terminal building, including international
arrivals which, for many, will be the gateway to the Games.
The airport has spent over £21 million in the past two years on
capital projects designed to provide a better experience for
passengers.
Included within the latest investment is the expansion and
improvement of the international arrivals area, modernisations to
the main check-in hall and £1.5 million on upgrading the
toilets.
Investment will also be targeted on the airfield to ensure a
smooth, efficient operation and state-of-the-art energy efficient
LED lighting will be installed in the airport's taxiways.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "The
eyes of the world will fall on Glasgow during 2014 and we fully
recognise the important role we have to play in helping deliver a
successful, memorable Commonwealth Games."
Work has been scheduled around the busy peak season, with detailed
planning being carried out between now and May and the main works
starting in October 2013.
