Early for once and wow it looks fab

Assuming this was carried out by a professional, permit holding UAV hire company (you being an airport and all), much of the industry is hoping that A) you didn't pay them for this and B) they have fixed whatever is wrong with their equipment. This quality is horrendous and could bettered by many UAV operators.

shocking footage just shocking

Whatever is going on here it's not great for people like us who can actually fly properly.

I prefer the one we have now with the nice purple and layout. Why does this have to happen I am going to miss it since the day it opened. 😢😢😢😢

[@marcbrady7241]

Game circle 01 The one they have the now is cramped and busy, it is getting quite old. They need to update it with more shops and restaurants and gates, etc. It will be a great terminal once it opens I don’t like terminal 2 airside. It feels very cramped compared to other airports like LBA and GLA. So I have to disagree with you that you prefer the old one. It also is quicker for taxiing to the runways.

[@morganjones2944]

Marc Brady I see your point. But I do prefer the departure gates coming away from the main terminal.

[@saykhulhassan5235]

Manchester airport looks great and also Birmingham airport needs expanded such as second runway and other infrastructure so that more airlines comes like cathay Pacific, Saudia airlines, virgin Atlantic and more flights

T3?

[@hammertime4437]

So when is East Midlands Airport going to get a new terminal with air bridges etc? oh yeah, MAG havent got any money for that airport.

[@750joshua]

Carrot Ninja 2018 MAG haven’t even got money for this... I believe the £1 billion investment is all from foreign companies.

[@johnnyboy3949]

Is terminal 3 going to be expanded as well? The secuirty and airside area in T3 is way over capacity and it’s hell on Earth in there.

[@marcbrady7241]

Burns Night I think it’s a terminal 2 expansion the now then once finished apparently t1 and t3 will be demolished.

[@jacoblaurie4998]

I wonder what’s going on inside the terminal in terms of building work??

[@marcbrady7241]

Jacob Laurie I think it’s just empty space at the moment until the frame is completed.

[@morganjones2944]

They have put a massive wall inside t2

[@piusais721]

What will happen to the older control tower and administrive buildings from the 1960's, will they be retained or demolished or is this undecided as of yet?

[@chrispaw1]

Pius Ais well at Heathrow as soon as the new terminals were bulit thay demolished all of the 50’s and 60’s stuff.....i guess that old style does need replacing eventualy...

[@750joshua]

I think their plan is to demolish Terminals 1 and 3 when the Terminal 2 development is finished so they can utilise the space of Terminals 1 & 3 for another terminal :)

[@morganjones2944]

They might use it for training

[@andrewgurney6019]

Why are you charging people 4 pounds to either drop off or pick up passengers? Quite simply you are ripping off your customers, I hope this airport fails

[@mowburnt]

There is a free drop off area with shuttle bus.
