The two maps illustrate the current layout of Southwest Airport and the proposed changes that will take place during its refurbishment next year. Overall, the redevelopment will not only increase the airport’s space but also enhance its services.
In the current layout, the airport primarily consists of a departure hall and an arrival hall. Within the departure hall, the check-in area is situated on the left, while a café is located on the right. Across from the entrance to both halls are security and customs checkpoints. Presently, there are eight boarding gates, and passengers access their respective gates via a walkway.
In the future layout, the most significant alteration is the expansion of the boarding area into a Y-shaped structure featuring 18 boarding gates and a sky train system. Within the departure hall, the check-in area will be relocated to accommodate a bag-drop area, with the café now positioned in the bottom left corner of the hall.
