Toulouse Airport "Hall D" Open Day

Toulouse airport is soon to open the doors of its new "HALL D" terminal building. This 40,000 sqm steel and glass structure was inaugurated in January 2010 to much fanfare from VIPs and locals alike.

In order to celebrate this new structure and to tease the public a bit, Toulouse airport HALL D is having an open day on Satruday 6th March from 9am until 7pm.




Entry is free and includes things such as;

• Tours aboard Concorde and the huge Airbus A380
• Flight simulators
• Discover classic airplanes
• Childrens activities including kite making
• Browse the new shops available in HALL D

I shall post more info on the official opening of this new terminal building as soon as I get it.
