Qantas
is to undertake a A$10 million program of improvements to its domestic terminal at Canberra Airport
commencing in February 2008.
The changes
will provide enhanced facilities for passengers, aircraft and baggage services in the period leading up to the completion of new Multi User Terminal facilities.
The improvements at Qantas' Canberra terminal include:
- expanded check-in facilities;
- installation of an additional security lane, providing extra space for periods of peak demand;
- expansion of the baggage system to provide added capacity, improved access and quicker delivery times;
- installation of an additional aerobridge allowing greater capacity during periods of peak demand.
Qantas
will also expand and upgrade the Qantas Club and open a new dedicated business lounge in late 2008.
Qantas Executive General Manager Services, Curtis
Davies said, "The new lounge will offer a more spacious layout, more private seating arrangements, social areas, enhanced food and business services,
work suites, complimentary wireless internet and shower facilities."
The
airline has entered into a long-term arrangement with Canberra International Airport to participate in the development of the
Multi User Terminal.
"Canberra has experienced strong domestic passenger growth for a number of years which has placed pressure on the airport's
infrastructure. The Multi User Terminal will provide a sustainable long-term solution for the
airport," Mr. Davies added.
