ONE of Spain‘s most popular airports with Brits is getting a multi-million pound upgrade in time for the next summer holidays.
Palma de Mallorca Airport is undergoing a massive modernisation project.
Costing €500million (£440million), one of the biggest upgrades is the new security area which has 44 check in lines.
It also has new state-of-the-art equipment so it means you can leave your electronics and liquids in your hand luggage.
Just make sure they are still under 100ml each as those rules are still in place.
Both Module A and Module D have been upgraded, with the former having a new retail area and walkways linking the terminals, as well as more departure gates.
This also includes 40 new digital passport gates for departing passengers.
Other upcoming changes include upgraded check in counters to allow space for more passengers, as well as more baggage reclaim belts and security checkpoints.
And a new retail area with shops, bars and restaurants is in the works as well, which connects Modules A, B, C and D.
The works are expected to continue until the end of next year, although most of the tourist-facing upgrades will be finished before the summer season.
Aena’s vice-chairman Javier Marín said around 70 per cent of the project is currently complete.
Palma de Mallorca Airport welcomes more than 30million passengers a year, with a record 33.3million last year.
And new flights have launched to the airport this year, including from Glasgow Airport with British Airways and from Leeds with easyJet.
Earlier this year, Ryanair also revealed a huge £1.2billion investment in the airport, with 80 new routes this summer.
The EES system will also be rolled out at Palma Airport this month on November 19.
It’s not the only Spanish airport undergoing a major upgrade as part of a €13bn (£11.3bn) investment plan across the country.
This includes a £2.8billion upgrade for Barcelona Airport, one of Spain’s biggest.
And Malaga Airport’s £1.3billion renovation will see larger terminals and faster security.
