Airport Terminal Expansion Update! ✈️ Construction of the expanded terminal area is progressing! Flooring is nearly complete, ceiling systems have been installed, and wall and floor finishes are nearing completion. The primary focus now is completing the electrical work, control wiring, and HVAC systems. The expanded area is scheduled to reach substantial completion by mid-December, with move-in anticipated in early January 2027. In the existing terminal, the new outbound baggage conveyor belts have been installed and are awaiting the arrival and installation of the main control panel. Once the panel is installed, the outbound baggage handling system is expected to be back online by mid-November. Once the move into the expanded terminal is complete, construction crews will shift their focus to renovating the existing terminal spaces. This phase of the project will include new inbound baggage belt, new floor and wall coverings, refurbishment of the existing restrooms, and construction of a new family restroom and mother's nursery on the second floor.
