As reported on this blog (way back in Sept 2013) the $4M (NZD) expansion of the terminal at Marlborough Airport, Blenheim (NZWB/BHE) is underway.
The first stage of the expansion is the construction of the new rental car kiosks out in the car park area, this will release the space that the rental car kiosks currently occupy inside the terminal.
The second half of stage one will see the expansion of the baggage reclaim area, which will also see this area come completely undercover and out of the elements. (A damn good idea in my opinion, having had some amazing cold and horrible experiences arriving back into BHE from BNE at night)
The Marlborough Express reports building of the new kiosks began last month with the entire project expected to be completed by March 2015. Which means the terminal can be showcased to travellers arriving for the 2015 Classic Fighters air show at Omaka.
{Dean} Heiford wanted to remind people that during the next five months, the front of the terminal would become congested, he said. "I would encourage people to get dropped off and picked up or make use of the taxis and shuttles. "We have a couple of extra guys working at peak times to help with it [congestion] so we can make it as easy as possible for passengers."
