The project includes the development plan for the airport facilities through 2030 and 2045 according to its Master Plan.
The main works to develop are:
- Design of new International Passenger Terminal.
- Renewal of the existing terminal turning it into domestic terminal.
- Design of parking structures and facilities.
- Design of a central plaza between the two terminals.
- Increasing of taxiways and platforms related to the new airport infrastructure.
- New road structure and landscaping for the entire complex.
- Facilities for Public Services.
The master plan proposes a public dimension not previously explored in the airport complex, providing a great pedestrian avenue that extends throughout the public area, ending by the terminals complex, intending to inject urban life for staff and passengers.
Also, the terminal complex creates a central public plaza, by facing the access facades of both terminals, allowing immediate and intuitive guidance, and creating links between the two terminals with direct and easy movement for passengers through a magnificent public space outdoor experience.
