Up in the air …

WORK has begun on re-shaping London City Airport’s Western Pier, which houses most of its departure gates.

Built in 1987, the airport was designed for tens of thousands of passengers, not the millions who use it today. The new Western Pier will be an open-plan space with modern seating, electronic boarding gates, workspaces, quiet areas, and charging points.

The area will increase in size by approximately 84 percent, with space for new retail and food and beverage outlets, and accommodate 600 additional seats.

The work will be completed by summer, 2016.
