Domestic Departure Lounge: Bathroom Redevelopment
Construction of more bathrooms in the domestic departure lounge is set to begin.
A Fresh Take on Freshening Up
Over the past year, we’ve heard your feedback and witnessed the pressure on the domestic departure gate bathrooms, and we agree: it’s time for a refresh.
That’s why we’re rolling out a redevelopment project focused on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. We’re expanding the footprint to build a brand-new male toilet block and a dedicated parenting room. The current facilities will become female-only restrooms, and we’re keeping the gender-neutral accessible toilet right where it is.
But wait, there’s more! Behind the scenes, our friends at Aviation Security will gain a remote screening room and upgraded breakroom services, helping them keep things running smoothly while you travel with ease.
We know construction can be a bit of a hassle, but we’re doing everything possible to keep disruptions to a minimum. Your comfort is our priority, and we’re excited to bring you a better bathroom experience - because every journey deserves a great start (and a clean pit stop).
Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned for updates as we build something better!
