Glasgow Airport expansion 'on track'  
Destinations  
   

After the completion of the physical building, a development project of £30 million at Glasgow Airport has gone into a new stage.

The 4,000 sq metre extension, dubbed skyhub, aims to change the experience of travellers at the Scottish airport when it opens to the public on the 21st of October. This is great news for passengers who would be using the services of Glasgow airport in the coming months, as they would be able to enjoy the new features of the development.

The development project is the biggest expansion observed at the airport in a generation, bringing in a new high-tech security search region in addition to a number of lounges, shops, restaurants and bars. So, passengers can well imagine the airport experience they will have once all the development plans are implemented-no wonder that they would love to travel through this airport.

Gordon Dewar, managing director at Glasgow Airport, said, "With skyhub, everything is under one roof … No matter where you're travelling, once you've passed through security, you can eat, shop or relax anywhere in the terminal".

In the month of October last year, BAA-the airport regulator-planned a £290 million twenty-five year scheme to change the facility, with skyhub making up the biggest investment for any single development work.

The new facility draws its name from the Nasa approved translucent fibre-glass system, which builders Balfour Beatty are considering to use in the windows of the facility.
