Virgin to revamp Sydney and Melbourne Terminals

[777]

D18 and D20 location seems to be very odd though. Surely there isn't much room there though?

Or would it be on the ground level like the NZ lounge?

Says apron level so probably.

I'd say think upwards or downwards - The departure area capacity won't take a hit, they need it to support the large number of pax e.g. two A388s or 773s

Upwards can't really see happening as it would impede on the arrivals level and would look odd.
On the apron it also a bit strange as there are Engineering and ramp offices, airport 'roads' for ramp staff and lots of storage area for ramp equipment.
Will be interesting anyway!
