Airport arrivals made easier with upgrade

The Sunshine Coast Airport’s new arrivals precinct and baggage claim has opened.

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Chris Mills says the opening is an important step in the terminal transformation.

“Passengers arriving on the Sunshine Coast will now collect their bags in a modern, purpose-built space almost three times the size of our former arrivals and baggage claim area,” he says.

“The transformation features a 92-metre baggage carousel – almost double the size of the original, upgraded passenger amenity including new bathroom facilities, seating areas and a new efficient water-cooling system for the entire terminal.

“The longer carousel provides more room for passengers to comfortably collect their luggage, while allowing more bags to be delivered at any one time.”
