The maps compare the layout of the Southwest airport at present and after renovation next year.
Overall, it is evident that the building will witness a remarkable transformation, including the expansion of the boarding area and the introduction of new amenities for both departing and arriving passengers.
Looking first at the terminals of this airport, people enter on the left and leave on the right. After the development, while the location of these terminals will remain unchanged, the number of entrances on both sides is expected to be doubled. At present, the facilities are limited as there is only a check-in desk in the upper left corner and an opposite cafe in the departure side. However, after a year, the cafe is likely to be moved to the bottom-left corner whereas the check-in desk will be relocated across this area, making room for a new bag drop section. Regarding the arrival terminal, which is now empty, there will be a new cafe, ATM machine, and a car hire in the extended lower corner, all of which will be on the right-hand side of the building.
Turning to the back of this airport, the units of security and passport control customs will remain intact. However, in the next year, there will be some shops for departing passengers after passing the security check. Finally, the current retangular boarding area surrounded by 8 gates is expected to be enlarged into a Y-shaped one with the number of gates increasing to 10 and the walkway will be replaced by a sky train to accommodate more flights.
