Glasgow Airport has officially opened its £3.3 million pier extension.
The project allows more passengers to board planes without setting foot on the asphalt and increases the number of stands able to accommodate larger aircraft.
Minister for Transport and Islands Derek Mackay said: “Glasgow Airport has attracted a number of new long haul services and this development will help build on that success. Not only will it be able to accommodate bigger aircraft, but it will also provide improved facilities for departing passengers.”
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: “Not only will this extension allow us to accommodate an additional 750,000 passengers a year, it has also created more space and better facilities for our customers to enjoy.”
