Flying on Christmas Day? Here are the opening hours you need to know
Christmas Day opening hours.
Much like Santa many passengers will be taking to the skies on December 25.
Around 8,000 passengers will be travelling through the airport on Christmas Day, whether it be to reunite with family, return home from work, or take a festive break.
This means hard-working teams will still be on-hand across the terminal and wider campus to keep things moving and ensure you get to where you need to be.
Our selection of restaurants and shops will be open for business on the big day (albeit with reduced hours) and here are the times you need to know about.
