Besides the work for the multi-storey complex, the Phase 2 work

will also involve the planning of vehicular ramps to and from Prince

Edward Road. Construction of these ramps will considerably improve the

access to the terminal building from the external road system.

This phase of the project, costing about $45 million, will also

see a re-arrangement and improvement of the facilities for arriving passengers

1

and people meeting passengers.

This will include the expansion of the present arrival hall by

absorbing the section of road space outside the hall.

Phase Two

The building work of Phase 2 is to start in the middle of this

year, and is scheduled for completion in 1975 when Phase 1 and 2 of Stage IV

modifications should be completed.

A specialised study of the baggage handling system for arriving and

departing baggage is currently being undertaken by a consultant firm, for

inclusion in Phase 3 of the Stage IV modifications to the airport.

The consultants, now examining the type of system best suited for

the airport, are expected to have finalised their report by March.

The overall Stage IV project, including Phase 3, will increase

the airport terminal building's passenger handling capability to just

short of 4,000 passengers an hour.
