I have read in the CBN that both BA (from Oct) and Monarch are stopping their Alicante - Gatwick routes to reduce operating costs.
Could the airport expansion be the biggest white elephant ever?
- and Ryanair won't be using the check in desks (check in online only and pay for the privilege)
This I got from AENA. (Spanish BAA)
New Terminal Area, its main projects are:
• New processing building and boarding pier
• Elevated car park: Consisting of two modules with six levels. With two large halls with entrances at the mezzanine of the processing building. 122,500 m2 with total capacity for 4,200 vehicles.
• Taxi rank and bus station
• Thermo-refrigeration plant (Center for production of cold and hot water to supply the heating, ventilating and cooling system of the entire NTA)
• Access road
• Connection air-bridges
• Power plant
• Automated Baggage Processing and Screening System (SATE)
With the new processing building and boarding pier, the airport will have more surface area, check-in counters and boarding gates. It will also have more shopping on offer since there will be more space in the boarding areas. Thanks to its modern facilities, there will also be more air-bridges to meet the demands of airlines and to offer better service. The new building will have:
• 333,500 m2
• 96 check-in counters
• SATE
• New boarding areas:
o 27,000 m2 total surface area
o 7,624 m2 of shopping surface
o 26 boarding gates (each with a passport control)
