Major construction work at airport
March 29th, 2009Minister of Tourism Charles Clifford has announced that construction work on the redevelopment of Owen Roberts International Airport is scheduled to commence in September and will be complete by 2012.
The project was first announced at the start of 2007 and should have been completed next year. Delays have meant that only a new staff parking lot and a reconfiguration of the long and short-term passenger parking areas have so far been finished.
The next stage will see the floor space at the main terminal grow from 80,000 to 220,000 square feet, an expanded ticketing and check-in hall, a new arrivals hall, a domestic arrivals and departures hall, a new international departures hall, a three additional aircraft parking slots.
