Terminal Expansion

[Jetsco]

Some preparatory/surveying work appears to have taken place at end of the SE pier. A source at EDI informed me that there is indeed firm plans to extend the SE pier beyond gate 27. Creating a fairly substantial extension towards the remote stands or 300 gates. This would effectively become the international terminal with jet bridges fitted to the new gates. All domestic and Ireland arrivals/departures would consolidate from gates 1 through 7. A large area, towards the cargo ops, currently grassed would be concreted to create a new remote stand area. I suspect part of the SE extension would house the US pre-clearance area. It must be regarded as speculation of course until something is formally announced. Sounds very positive. Much need also to cope with the projected 20 million pax number in the next 5 years.

Thanks for sharing the info @Jetsco I look forward to seeing this details when the airport formally releases it's plans. Interesting times ahead. Does EDI have a masterplan where this might be illustrated? #EDIexpansion
