Airside D (under construction)
A new 16-gate airside that the airport says will open in 2029. The airport's earlier Airside D was demolished in 2007.
Moving between terminals
Each airside has its own automated shuttle from Level 3 of the Main Terminal. There is no direct link between airsides, so to change airsides you ride back to the Main Terminal and take the other airside's shuttle. Each airside also has its own security checkpoint, so a connection that involves leaving the secure area means clearing security again.
