The Evening Times revealed in January that Glasgow was to become the first airport in Scotland to open a second terminal, in response to growing demand from low-cost airlines and charter firms. The new facility, dubbed T2, will be able to handle 1.5million passengers a year and has 25 check-in desks to help relieve pressure on the main terminal over the busy summer months. The opening was being attended by Glasgow City Council leader Charles Gordon, Renfrewshire Council leader Jim Harkins and local MSPs.

It's only you who humiliates Turnhouse with your anti-GLA nonsense out of all the Scottish airports, have a good look at yourself and see the damage you are doing not only to EDI but to Scotland.

Well thats what you where actually digging for Adrian. Why not just come out and say it? Quote: All the major UK airports have 2 or more Terminals, LHR, LGW, MAN, GLA etc. Yes. Typically, how far apart ore these terminals? They are a few hundred meters apart and before you ask, no T2 could not have been built onto the main terminal as there are a lot of other things in the way. If you have flown from GLA then T2 is right at the start of the Airport Taxi rank.
