It seems, following the recent post about the railway station terrace at Dusseldorf Airport being closed, that this is now open again and may have only been a temporary thing. Work is indeed underway in the building, so it may be that closures will happen again sporadically. A recent report states that the cafe downstairs has gone, and that access to the terrace is only by the lift now.

Following the petition held recently by aircraft enthusiasts in the Newcastle area to have a viewing area built, it seems the airport has finally given in and announced plans to build an area for viewing.

The airport recently bought the original 1930s terminal building and its owner Samsons Aviation on the south side of the airport. As well as developing GA and business flights, it will also add a visitors centre with a viewing area in the historic building.

This is great news for the area’s spotters, who have been deprived since the official viewing terrace at the terminal closed i 2003.

Geneva’s outdoor viewing terrace on the terminal is currently closed for building work to take place. It is unknown whether this will be a permanent closure or just temporary.

Anyone travelling for May’s EBACE will not be able to use it, however.

It is still possible to view from the bar and restaurant area, or the various viewing locations around the perimeter.

Despite reports that were milling around this week about the closure of Munich’s Terminal 2 terrace, I can confirm it is still open.

It seems there was a temporary closure for some repair or building work to go ahead. However, this was quickly resolved and the public allowed back in. The excellent viewing mound is also still open.
