“The two maps illustrate a detailed comparison of the Southwest Airport area in its current state and its proposed development for the next year.
Overall, the proposed redevelopment shows significant changes, particularly in the expansion of gates and the addition of new facilities.
The most notable improvements include the addition of 10 extra gates and a skytrain to facilitate faster access to the gates, replacing the current walkway. Inside the departures entrance, a bag drop facility will replace the current check-in area, which will be moved across and replace the existing café. The café will be relocated to the left of the departures gate.
On the other side of the building, new facilities will be added in the arrivals area, including a café, ATM, and a car rental spot. Shops will also be added, but only in the departures area. Several existing facilities, such as security and passport control in the departures area and passport control and customs in the arrivals area, will remain unchanged.”
