In March, airport chiefs pulled out of its £150m rebuild plans
It was claimed this would help meet extra demand for air travel, while improving transport links and increasing local job opportunities.“We regretted having to withdraw the planning application for the replacement terminal, particularly given the support we received from the general public, business community and councils across the region,” an airport spokesperson said.
“However, we’re committed to investing in LBA to make it an outstanding, decarbonised, modern airport for the future.” According to a report into the plans from late 2018, the airport terminal expansion would see a three storey extension added to the east of the building. This would cover an area of around 4,500 square metres – just over one acre – to the east of the site.
The new building would form the new arrivals hall for the airport, while the existing terminal building would instead focus on departure facilities.
