The map details the upcoming renovations for Southwest airport in the next year.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is apparent that the number of gates will enlarge significantly and a variety of customer-serving facilities will be added such as ATM, shops, sky train and car hire.
Although the locations of departure and arrival will stay unchanged, there are plans to install additional doors. Currently, there is a single check-in and cafe when entering the airport. The future blueprint involves relocating the check-in from the left to the right side of the departure in order to make room for the bag drop area, repositioning the cafe from the upper right corner to the lower left corner of the departure. The arrival section will equip cafe, ATM and car rental service that requires expanding the size of the building.
Security, passport control and customs will remain unchanged but the future floor plan illustrates that shops will be resided immediately after the security section for departure. Moreover, the most significant change is replacing the walkway with a long sky train track and constructing two branching corridors that will provide access to more than twice as many gates (8 gates at the moment and 18 gates after renovation).
