BAA Glasgow has announced plans to invest £500,000 to improve drop-off facilities for passengers.

Among the developments will be a widened drop-off zone on St Andrew's Drive to increase capacity, new shelters along the same road and a covered walkway to the main terminal.

Improved facilities for disabled travellers and other new processes for passenger pick-up are also under consideration.

The outlay will bring to £2m the total spending at the airport since the failed attack on the hub earlier this year.

Glasgow managing director Gordon Dewar said: 'We believe that the improvements we are making represent a balanced and proportionate response that combines tougher security measures with safe and secure access for passengers.

'We are grateful to our passengers for the patience and understanding they have shown over the past few months. Our first priority, following the attack, was to safeguard the safety and security of our passengers.'

Mr Dewar said that the airport's main aim is to adhere to security constraints while delivering as safe and convenient a service as possible to passengers.
