Glasgow Airport to close T2 check-in
Winter closure announced
Glasgow Airport has announced plans to close T2, its secondary check-in facility, for a short period over the winter in an effort to reduce its costs to airlines.
The closure came into effect on Tuesday November 17 and will see T2 remain inactive until April 2010.
Derek Provan, customer service director at Glasgow Airport, said: "The decision to close T2 for a short period is the right one for Glasgow Airport and its airlines. This is simply a matter a good housekeeping. T2 is little used during the quiet winter months. It makes economic sense to close it over the winter to reduce costs.
"The airport is a commercial operation and, like any private business, we need to keep a tight control over our costs so that we can make best use of our resources, and invest for the future."
BAA Glasgow has this year invested £12 million on new terminal and airfield facilities, with up to £200 million anticipated to be spent on further upgrades over the next decade. "We can only continue this scale of investment in the future of our airport by continually lowering costs and managing our airport more efficiently," added Provan.
