Airport to invest £100m in upgrading baggage handling system and carparks.
Not a moment too soon for the baggage handling system, but I think past problems have been due more to lack of people unloading aircraft. A new drop-off carpark, with covered walkway to terminal, will be created which will be free for the first 30 minutes. No more £1 drop-off charge, so they'll need to make up the deficit somewhere else. Number of self-service bag drop kiosks will be doubled.
It appears that arrival of Jet2 next year has prompted this work.
