Gold Coast Airport has completed negotiations with airport operators and from 10 June 2011 all regular passenger transport (RPT) airline services will operate from the purpose-built common user main terminal, Terminal 1.
“Moving Tiger Airways to Terminal 1 means the common user check in counters, security screening area and baggage screening processes, the core of a low cost carrier terminal operation, are maximised. This will create greater efficiencies at the airport and for Tiger Airways.
Gold Coast Airport’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr Paul Donovan, said this makes full use of Terminal 1 and will provide passengers with a more pleasant flying experience. “Last year we opened our $100 million purpose built low cost carrier, common user terminal. Currently all domestic and international airline services that operate out of Gold Coast Airport, with the exception of Tiger Airways, use this terminal.
“Our internal research shows passengers using Terminal 1 have a nicer experience, given the range of retail, food and beverage outlets, more seating, as well as other facilities that enhance their travel journey. “Tiger Airways operating from Terminal 1 will also reduce passenger confusion as passengers will arrive and depart from the same terminal, regardless of which airline they are travelling with,” Mr Donovan said.
