****

THE ARRIVALS FORECOURT OF THE AIRPORT PASSENGER TERMINAL BUILDING WILL BE DESIGNATED FROM SEPTEMBER 1 AS A +24-HOUR NO STOPPING RESTRICTED ZONE+ TO VEHICLES UNLESS AUTHORISED IN WRITING.

THIS MEASURE IS TO ENHANCE TRAFFIC FLOW ALONG THE ARRIVALS FORECOURT, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CIVIL AVIATION DEPARTMENT SAID.

WITH ABOUT 14 000 AIR PASSENGERS ARRIVING DAILY, VEHICLE MOVEMENTS AT THE AIRPORT HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY, HE ADDED.

IN ADDITION, WITH WORK ON STAGE 5 DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERMINAL BUILDING UNDERWAY SINCE LATE LAST YEAR, TOUR IST INDUSTRY-RELATED TRANSPORT HAS BEEN DISPLACED FROM ITS PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED AREA.

FOR THIS REASON, KERBSIDE LOADING IN THE ARRIVALS FORECOURT ILL BE RESTRICTED TO TOURIST INDUSTRY-RELATED TRANSPORT, THE POKESMAN SAID,

IN THIS CONNECTION, FROM NEXT MONTH PRIVATE CARS WILL BE REQUIRED TO LOAD AND EXIT DIRECT FROM THE AIRPORT MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK, WHICH WAS DESIGNED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

TAXIS WILL CONTINUE TO LOAD AT THE TRANSPORT TERMINUS AND UNLOAD AT DEPARTURE LEVEL.

NO CHANGE TO DEPARTURE ARRANGEMENTS IS PROPOSED FOR THE TIME BEING. UNLOADING IS NOT PERMITTED AT THE ARRIVALS LEVEL.

HOWEVER, SPACE FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING WILL BE DESIGNATED FOR DISABLED PASSENGERS AT THE ARRIVALS LEVEL.

THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT WITH THE COMMISSIONING OF THE STAGE 5 DEVELOPMENT IN 1988, MORE KERBSIDE LOADING SPACE WILL BE AVAILABLE,
