As an ardent traveller, I am excited to know that our airport is getting a facelift! I think its the right time, the appropriate time. The current condition of the airport is alot to be desired. Nothing was being done in terms of renovation ever since the airport became operational in 1974. Sorry to say, its just a shame to call it an international airport. Its small, its hot and very aging. Every time we went overseas, I feel a pang of sadness to see the condition and all the basic facilities. Brunei is such a rich country and I just dont know what tourists see when they first come here.
But that will all be history. The airport is now under renovation and it will look quite nice when its fully finished in 2014. Its going to be modern, up to date and will have that international feel to it. Cant wait to see it. Although at the moment going to the airport can be a nightmare. With all the sign boards, the detour and the faraway parking space. Not to mention all the dust and noise that come along with the construction, lol..
The other day we wanted to try out the Singapore food buffet at the Airport International Restaurant but changed our mind at the last minute due to the detour and the parking area which was too far away from the restaurant. And we will fly off to Malaysia in a few days time so we will see how the building looks like now..
Anyway its for the better, so we will not complain.
I have a few pictures of the airport when its done taken from the BEDB website and it looks awesome. At least it will look like any other airport around the world!
