The floor plans for Southwest Airport before and after redevelopment are presented in the visual information.
Overall, the redevelopment of the airport will involve significant changes to the layout, with the addition of new zones and rearrangement of existing ones. The central area will see the incorporation of curved extensions, and the relocation of certain facilities.
In the ‘Now’ plan, the airport consists of a central rectangle, with distinct zones marked 1-4 in the upper half and 5-7 in the lower half. Zone 1 is designated for ‘Check-in’, zone 2 for ‘Café’, zone 3 for ‘Toilets’, and zone 4 for ‘Shop’. Zones 5 & 6 are allocated for ‘Gates’, while zone 7 is dedicated to ‘Arrivals’. The lower corners of the central rectangle display ‘Departures’ and ‘Security’. However, in the ‘After Development’ plan, the airport is expanded to include additional zones labeled 8-18, with the rearrangement of existing facilities. Zones 8-14 are primarily occupied by ‘Café’, ‘Toilets’, ‘Shop’, ‘Gates’, and the addition of a new provision for ‘ATM’. The central area now accommodates ‘Departures’ and ‘Security’, and ‘Arrivals’ has been relocated, while ‘Check-in’ remains unchanged.
The ‘After Development’ plan also features curved extensions on three sides of the central rectangle. In the upper half, zones 8-14 have been strategically positioned, encompassing ‘Café’, ‘Toilets’, ‘Shop’, and ‘Gates’. Meanwhile, the lower half of the airport incorporates zones 15-18, catering to ‘Shop’, ‘Toilets’, ‘Café’, and ‘Car hire’. Notably, the relocation of ‘Arrivals’ and the addition of new zones reflect the substantial changes that will characterize the airport after redevelopment.
