EDMONTON - Just in time for the holiday travel season officials at the Edmonton International Airport have taken the wraps off the first phase of a massive renovation project, expanding traveler's shopping and dining options.

"This opening marks the beginning of an expansion of a lifetime, ushering in a higher level service, comfort and convenience at EIA," said EIA President at CEO Reg Milley.

The new 'Central Hall,' located just beyond EIA's central security screening area, was designed to mimic Old Strathcona-style storefronts and features a dozen retail and dining options.

"With this opening and the new terminal opening next year, EIA is becoming more than an airport, it's a becoming a destination," said Myron Keehn, EIA Vice-President of Commercial Development. 

When completed, the Expansion 2012 project will add 480,000 square feet of new space, and a total of 34 new shopping and dining outlets.
