Modern, comfortable and welcoming
Dedicated to passengers and hub operators, this new building will renew the customer experience:
- simplifying and streamlining the passenger circuit,
- reduce waiting times at different stages of the journey,
- meet today's needs with the latest generation of equipment, and offer shopping and entertainment areas inspired by new consumer trends.
Faster and more efficient: a single checkpoint for boarding
The reception and check-in areas in halls A and B on level 1 have been maintained. The space between the 2 halls has been completely redesigned to provide a single point of entry to the aircraft access area.
The control area welcomes passengers in 3,000 m² equipped with the latest-generation security control systems. New scanners ensure that bags do not have to be emptied of their contents.
An experience in Bordeaux
Passengers are welcomed in a vast 5,000 m² waiting and shopping area, before proceeding to their various boarding lounges.
Inspired by the famous squares in Bordeaux's historic centre, 3,000 m² are dedicated to shopping and entertainment. A large glass roof as wide as the atrium of the Palais de la Bourse provides filtered natural light.
The savoir-vivre of the entire region is at the heart of this central square, with shops, restaurants, services and entertainment overlooking the track. Unique spaces, inspired by Bordeaux's history and culture, line the passenger's path to boarding.
The catering offer is developed around a food market inspired by the market halls that are well known and appreciated in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
A terminal that makes the most of natural resources and keeps its carbon footprint to a minimum
This new building symbolises the airport's commitment to the transition underway to meet an ecological imperative: consuming fewer resources and reducing the use of fossil fuels.
Priority is being given to the use of low-carbon and efficient insulating materials, and work is focusing on processes to reduce energy consumption.
Crenellated façades and solar protection let in light and regulate heat naturally. Light is at the service of well-being.
The project relies on solar panels and water recovery to keep water and energy consumption to a minimum. 3,000 m² of solar panels will be installed on the roof. The electricity produced will be entirely self-consumed to cover a large part of the building's electricity consumption.
Rainwater recovery will supply more than 70% of water needs for cleaning and sanitary purposes.
