Make a Dark day Brighter

DAA are celebrating 21 years of the festival of lights at the airport and are kindly supporting NCBI in their Christmas appeal again this year. With over one million people expected to travel through the airport this festive season, NCBI supporters will be featured on their advertising screen in return for sponsoring a bulb.
