The state-of-the-art 26,000m² three-storey terminal brought together the check-in facilities of both Domestic and International operations.
As project planners and construction programmers for the project, Inovo pre-planned construction sequences in order to minimise disruption to the fully operational airport, while a staged programme allowed new operating systems to be commissioned and tested before the old services were taken out of service.
Stage One included the new check-in hall with 54 check-in counters and self-service kiosks. Stage Two involved the demolition of the former domestic terminal and completion of the new terminal including airside lounges, domestic baggage reclaim area, revitalised international facilities and improvement of aircraft parking areas.
Constructing the new terminal over the footprint of the existing terminal involved the planning of over fifty subcontracting companies, with an average of 200 personnel on site each day (350 at the peak of construction) including working air-side around an international border and close to aircraft.
