Does this mean they are going to change the actual layout of the baggage collection area as well? Nothing screams I just landed in small town Leduc more than YEG's baggage collection area with the Nisku Ford ads plastered all over. Even smaller airports like Winnipeg, Halifax and Ottawa have much bigger, more sophisticated, well laid out and welcoming baggage areas.YEG is upgrading its baggage system:
I don't think so. It sounds like more back end upgrades.Does this mean they are going to change the actual layout of the baggage collection area as well?

Would Tim Hortons ads be better? However, more seriously I agree, that area seems like a neglected afterthought.Does this mean they are going to change the actual layout of the baggage collection area as well?

The baggage claim area could do with a refresh for sure. I think they could use giant LED screens all along the back wall to showcase Edmonton.

I would like to see how that money is utilized.
Honestly it's not worse than some other major airports, such as Terminal 3 at Pearson - their baggage claim area has low ceilings like YEG and is nothing special, but it just has more bagge carousels.Does this mean they are going to change the actual layout of the baggage collection area as well?

Seems like the Capital Line could be extended to the airport. Especially with all the growth south of the Henday and with the new South Health Centre maybe*** happening if it gets funding. Either way it would make it a lot easier to get to the airport from the city. I recently rode the Capital Line to Century Park and then took the bus to the airport which was fine but it would be much quicker if the train extended down so it makes a lot of sense imo.I think if the LRT (or HSR) is built to the Airport, the entrance will have to be rebuilt. The upper level departures level entrance sometimes has a lot of taxis and cars parked.
Very neat insights. Excited to see what the report look like.YEG Master Plan 2048 Public Survey Results
