The plans illustrate the current layout of Southwest Airport and the proposed redevelopment scheduled for next year. Overall, the airport will undergo significant expansion, introducing new facilities and doubling the number of gates to enhance passenger convenience and capacity.
Currently, the airport features a modest setup with a central check-in area, security, passport control, and eight gates accessible by a walkway. There is also a café in the departures section and a single arrivals hall.
After redevelopment, the airport will expand its gate area from eight to eighteen, which will be connected by a new sky train instead of the current walkway. The check-in area will be relocated to the left side of the departures hall, while a new bag drop facility will be added on the right. Additionally, more passenger amenities, including shops, an ATM, and a car hire service, will be introduced in the arrivals hall. A second café will also be added near the expanded gates.
In summary, the redevelopment will transform the airport by expanding the gates, improving connectivity, and adding various modern facilities for passenger convenience.
