Plus if the airport is going to market to new airlines (international mainly); it's nice to show a modern updated airport to them, versus ours which for a time seemed neglected.
My only beef with the airport remains the actual departures level. It's still the long corridor with a narrow 'foot path' - it would be nice if the upper level could be extended outward so that a couple moving walkways could be put in for seniors who aren't as mobile as others. But the other improvements on that level (adding more windows to increase the lighting) and the arrivals staircase area from the upper level are great.
I'd also add that over time, I'd like YHZ to take a page from YVR when it comes to airport art and truly having the 'wow factor' when you arrive. For those who haven't flown through YVR (particularly the International Arrivals) it is stunning. The whole experience showcases a lot of native artwork (the totem poles are amazing). Here is one and here is another. Even in the domestic area (which is the oldest part of the airport) has this awesome totem pole, which I love seeing. I'd like to see some partnership with the local native communities here in YHZ to do the same - but over time. Lets focus on the much needed changes and then add these things in over time... |
Is that a waterfall running under the stairs in the first pic from YVR? If so, NICE!!
