Work has begun on upgrades to the Victoria International Airport’s lower passenger departure lounge and the Victoria Airport Authority (VAA) is documenting the activity in a series of videos.
In February, the VAA announced it was starting work on its $19.4 million terminal expansion project. Over 27 months, work is being done to expand the passenger lounge, creating dedicated aircraft gates and covered walkways. New washrooms and more space for retail and food services will also be going in.
The VAA is posting time-lapse video to its YouTube page to document the construction, and people can follow along.
