The phase one involved expanding the secured and unsecured passenger waiting areas along with a number of energy-saving improvements. These improvements are expected to give travelers a better first impression of the airport, as stated by the airport’s manager.
Phase two of the renovation project will be commenced by mide-2010. It will involve construction of a boarding bridge and luggage carousel. The project is slated for completion by 2011 itself.
