The two maps represent the current layout of Southwest Airport and the proposed redevelopment that will take place next year after the renovation work is complete.
Generally speaking, the airport is set to undergo a substantial transformation, with notable additions and improvements in infrastructure, passenger facilities, and accessibility.
At present, Southwest Airport consists of a single terminal designated for departures and arrivals, positioned on the left and right ends of the airport. A small walkway leads to the gates, which are accessed via a narrow concourse. The airport facilities now are limited, with only a café and a check-in area in the departure area, and the arrivals area is virtually empty.
As the airport development plan suggests, the terminal will be expanded significantly with 18 gates, new amenities and . In the departure area, the check-in counter will be relocated to the right, making room for a new bag drop. Additional features such as a café, ATM, and car hire services will be incorporated into the terminal's arrival area, enhancing passenger convenience. A sky train will be introduced to connect the main terminal to the newly added gates, which will increase from 8 to 18. Therefore, the proposed upgrades to Southwest Airport will greatly enhance its functionality, capacity, and passenger experience.
