Three areas of the terminal will be expanded, raising the current space of 22,000 square metres to 115,834 square metres.
The improved terminal, which will include 120 check-in desks, 10 jet bridges and 19 gates, will be able to serve 13 million passengers per year, increasing the current capacity by 3 million.
The current terminal was opened in September 2007, with a capacity of 8 to 10 million passengers a year. It served 9.2 million passengers in 2013 and is expected to serve 9.8 million by the end of this year.
