Expansion plans at Belfast

Article Abstract:

Belfast's major airports have announced expansion plans in a bid to seize a larger share of the region's air traffic. Belfast International plans to build a second terminal to raise its annual capacity to 5 million passengers. TBI, which bought the airport in 1996, intends to invest as much as GBP100 million to develop the airport's other facilities between 1999 and 2003. Belfast City airport, meanwhile, plans to spend GBP30 million ($50 million) for its terminal development program.

Training with fire

Article Abstract:

BAA, the UK-based airport operator, took over an $8 million fire training simulator built by UK-based IFTE under a $2.4 million contract. The 300- tonne simulator is a full-size replica of a Boeing 747 with a McDonnel Douglas MD11 tail engine. It can simulate 13 interior fires and 13 exterior fires, allowing the airport fire service to train within a realistic context.
