The map illustrates the changes that will take place at Southwest Airport from the present to the following year after an upgrade. Overall, the airport will be expanded with more facilities and an improved transportation system to enhance customer service.
Currently, the airport layout features a walkway entrance leading to eight gates. Further down, it splits into two wider paths for departing and arriving passengers, each with a passport control booth for security and customs. The departing customer lobby has a check-in area on the left side and a café on the right. However, there are no specified facilities for arriving passengers.
In contrast, the blueprint for the airport in the upcoming year shows an expanded entrance accommodating 18 gates and incorporating a long sky train system. A section on the left, between the entrance and the existing passport control booths, will now house pop-up shops. The lobby will see enhancements on both sides, with the check-in area moving to the right and a new bag drop area on the opposite side. The café will relocate to the left corner. Additionally, the right side of the lobby will see new facilities, including a café, an ATM, and a car hire service in the expanding area at the right corner.
