Munich Airport to be expanded at cost of almost half a billion euros

Germany’s second biggest airport is set to be modernized and expanded at an estimated cost of €455 million, which the airport plans to cough up out of its own pocket.
A new gate for up to twelve aircraft is to be built even before the airport’s long-planned third runway, Albert Füracker, Bavarian finance minister and chairman of Munich Airport’s supervisory board, said on Thursday.

In addition, passenger screening, restaurants and lounges in Terminal 1, which opened in 1992, will be renovated.

Initial construction work on the 95,000-square-metre expansion is scheduled to begin before the end of the year.

The new gate will be opened “by 2023 at the earliest,” a press release issued by the airport operator FMG stated on Thursday.

In order to accommodate for the expected increase in passenger numbers, the new gate will be for international flights outside the Schengen area of Europe.

The South Korean government will expand the Gimhae International Airport in the southern port city of Busan as planned and will not consider a new option, including building a new airport in nearby Gadeok Island, officials of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport said.

First phase of St. John’s airport terminal building expansion opens July 12

St. John’s International Airport announced Tuesday the opening date of the first phase of the expanded airport terminal building will be July 12.

The construction for the first phase of the expansion began in late 2014 and has added 145,000 square feet to the departures area of the airport terminal.

The first flights on the morning of July 12 will operate through the new pre-board screening area, which will be accessible through the first floor adjacent to the check-in area, the airport said in a news release. The new departures lounge will feature additional seating and gate capacity, and more food and beverage and retail outlets.

Passenger traffic has grown significantly since the Airport was privatized in 1998 and the existing Terminal Building was reopened in 2002.

Last year, there were over 1.5 million passengers who passed through the Airport, a volume well-beyond the design capacity of the existing building of 908,000 passengers. As a result of this passenger growth, a 10-year plan was announced in 2017 that includes an investment of $200 million into the airport to expand and enhance facilities in order to accommodate existing and anticipate future passenger traffic volumes.

Construction on the second phase will begin in 2019 and add about 100,000 square feet to the arrivals area. When the expansion project is completed in 2022, the airport terminal building will be more than double its existing size at 420,000 square feet.

When the East Expansion (Departures) opens in July 2018, passengers will enjoy the following 5 new food and beverage and five retail outlets in Departures Lounge (YellowBelly brewery, Newfoundland Chocolate Company, Booster Juice, Heritage Shop, Breakwater Place (Relay) ant Tim Hortons).

El proyecto implicará una inversión superior a los 2.200 millones de pesos y culminará, en principio, a mediados del 2.021. Para el área de Transporte del Gobierno nacional, el aeropuerto cordobés es central a la hora de pensar la denominada “revolución de los aviones”, al punto que dos empresas como Aerolíneas Argentinas y Norwegian eligieron a Córdoba para su “hub” aéreo, y la lowcost Flybondi realizó sus primeras operaciones también desde esta ciudad.

Nueva terminal. En junio del año próximo comenzaría una de las etapas clave del proyecto que es la ampliación de la nueva terminal, que contará con una inversión cercana a los 700 millones de pesos. El objetivo de los trabajos será incrementar la superficie de la aerostación para absorber el aumento de operaciones. Para ello se extenderá y jerarquizará del hall de partidas y arribos; habrá una remodelación integral de todo el sistema de manejo de equipaje y también mejoras en los sistemas de evacuación y accesibilidad. Se ampliarán las áreas de embarques tanto nacional como internacional. Además, se prevé la renovación de las áreas técnicas y operativas, la incorporación de dos nuevos puentes fijos con sus correspondientes mangas y la instalación de 22 nuevos puestos de check-in, tanto para servicios domésticos como internacionales. Inicio estimado de la remodelación de la nueva terminal: junio 2019, con finalización estimada en: mayo 2021.

Los pasajeros del año 2017 ascendieron a 2,901,000.
