To provide the best possible conditions for the increasing proportion of travellers on international routes and growing number of border controls for both arrivals and departures, the Airport Management Company has opted for an ambitious solution. The challenge is to provide travellers with a higher level of service at every stage of their passage through the airport. Hence, shared access routes to the boarding areas in Halls A and B will be provided by the new central building. Security checkpoints serving both Halls will be installed in the passenger areas, where all facilities, shops and services will be designed for enhanced user-friendliness in terms of clarity, ease of use, overall comfort and relaxation before departure.
