THE owner of Glasgow and Aberdeen airports has appointed design partners to lead the next stage of its £350 million programme to transform the airports.
Alongside Southport Airport, the programme will create modern, sustainable, and passenger-centred airports in the cities, with WSP and Pascall + Watson Architects contracted to lead the designs.
The work at Glasgow includes a terminal design transformation, with the design phase set to shape the future layout, flow, and passenger experience at both it and Aberdeen Airport – which will also get a retail upgrade.
Kam Jandu, chief executive of AGS Airports, said, “These appointments represent an important milestone in the delivery of AGS Reimagined.
“WSP and Pascall + Watson bring world‑class capability and deep experience of designing modern airport environments, and their expertise will help us create facilities that are more intuitive, efficient and enjoyable for our passengers.
“With our £350 million investment now being put to work, we are moving at pace to deliver transformational change across our airports. This is a major step in shaping the next chapter of Glasgow and Southampton, ensuring they are future ready and reflective of the regions they serve focussing on great sense of place.”
Mark Wolfe, aviation sector lead at WSP, commented, “We’re delighted to be partnering with AGS Airports on the next stage of AGS Reimagined at Glasgow and Southampton. Drawing on our multidisciplinary design, building services and systems expertise – and collaborating closely with Pascall + Watson – we’ll create intuitive, resilient terminal environments that improve passenger flow and experience while supporting low‑carbon goals. With our teams embedded locally, we’re excited to help shape facilities that authentically reflect and serve their regions.”
