Glasgow Airport access points to get £2m revamp
Thu, 03 Jun, 2010
Glasgow Airport is to undergo a £2 million renovation as part of efforts to improve access to the travel hub.
A free drop-off zone is to be created under the proposals and it is hoped the new area will help to cut carbon emissions and ease the congestion caused by the current system, which forces travellers to arrive and depart via the same route.
The airport's managing director Amanda McMillan stated that the changes will give the site the appearance of a "major international" destination, while improving the look of the forecourt and enabling a more sensible road network.
Convenience and the environment were also key considerations when deciding how to modify the hub, which caters for more than eight million passengers each year.
"We have designed a package of measures that makes it easier for passengers and motorists to access Glasgow Airport and honours our commitment to support sustainable transport," Ms McMillan said.
