New five-gate concourse (under construction)
The expansion will add five gates that can handle larger aircraft, a new passenger concourse and an expanded security checkpoint. It is described as a multi-phase project, so layouts may change while it is built.
Moving between terminals
There is a single terminal and one concourse, so there are no terminal transfers. The terminal expansion project may change walking routes in the coming years.
