“The planned terminal expansion will see a 55 per cent increase in floor area upon its completion, which is scheduled for the end of 2013,” federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Anthony Albanese said in a statement.
“The current design is geared to the low cost carrier model and will allow for the continued growth of the Jetstar hub as well as flexibility to accommodate new airline operators in the future,” he added.
