These have been fully investigated in conjunction with the appropriate Government Departments. Messrs. Ramsey, Murray, White & Ward have been appointed Consulting Architects for the terminal building.

The site of the new terminal area is on the western end of the existing airport so construction work thereon cannot start until the new runway is in operation. Considerable thought has been given to arrangements for the interim period to ensure minimum inconvenience to all parties concerned.
