Work starts on airport extension
14.06.09
Work on the new two-storey multi-million pound walkway at Bristol Airport started last Wednesday. The quarter-of-a-mile long extension will include facilities for passengers with reduced mobility and provide eight departure lounges for passengers to wait before boarding. It will also house offices for the airport and airport based companies.
Bristol Airport's head of development, Andrew Goodenough, said: ‘The western walkway will provide an improved experience for passengers using the airport, providing increased direct covered access between aircraft and the terminal. Currently half the airports passengers use the buses to ferry them to and from the plane.'
The lead contractor, Kier Western, aim to complete the project by March next year. The airport will soon submit a planning application for the further development of the terminal and site to North Somerset Council.
