Cardiff Airport £4m terminal upgrade work to start

Cardiff Airport is to spend £4m revamping its terminal and improve parking facilities.

The work will see increased retail space including a new coffee shop and a pharmacy along with extra seating in the departures lounge.

Its executive lounge will also be improved, as will the hold baggage screening system.

Outside, a meet and greet car parking service and car hire centre will be introduced.

The money will help pay for a new coffee shop in departures

The work is due to be completed by summer 2018.

Deb Barber, the airport's chief executive, said: "The latest investment will significantly transform the experience for customers, offering more choice and quality in modern, welcoming surroundings.

"This is especially important at a time when we are experiencing passenger growth and working with our airline partners to introduce more choice in services for our customers."

The airport hopes the work will be finished by the end of next summer
