The airport currently features four main terminals: A, B, C and D. Terminal A is also known as the Marine Air Terminal.
Terminal B, also known as Central
Terminal Building (CTB) opened in April 1964. It was modernised and
expanded in 1990s. It has approximately 835,000ft² of floor space.
The
CTB redevelopment project includes
the demolition of the existing CTB and
associated infrastructure such as CTB Parking Garage (Parking lot 2),
four concourses (A, B, C and D), Hangars 1, 2 and 4, and frontage roads.
A new terminal building will be built in place
of the demolished CTB.
The project also
includes construction of a central heating and refrigeration plant
(CHRP), a new aeronautical ramp, a hydrant fuelling system, and certain
temporary facilities at the airport.
The
new CTB will cover an area of 1.3 million square
feet. It will feature 38 aircraft gates, 214 check-in counters and
kiosks,
baggage handling
systems with a centralised in-line, a baggage
screening facility, and 1,620ft of baggage claim device presentation
frontage.
It will also feature two passenger security screening check-points (SSCP) with a total of
22 lanes, and other passenger amenities.
The
new CTB is expected to be fully completed by 2019. It will be designed
to achieve Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Silver
certification from the US
Green Building Council.
The redevelopment of the airport is expected to be completed by 2021.
