New work will seespeedier boarding

The new departures lounge at City of Derry Airport.

City of Derry Airport Chief Damien Tierney says recent improvements at the Eglinton facility will speed up boarding next summer.

A new pre-boarding area and improved retail offering complement other recent customer service improvements including the provision of free WiFi throughout the terminal and the upgrade to our relaxing Amelia Earhart Lounge.

Mr Tierney said: “The aim of this extension project is to offer more capacity within the departure lounge and improve the retail offering.

“During peak summer months, the pre-boarding area will speed up passenger boarding and alleviate congestion in the departure lounge.

“The newly refurbished retail unit will offer customers an improved shopping experience and a wider range of gift ideas.”
