- At the ground floor level : check-in, PIF and PAF departure, boarding lounges ;
- At the RDC+1 : landing ;
- At the RDC+2 : the international boarding lounges.
The passenger terminal development project brings the terminals to a total area of approximately 130 000 m² distributed as follows :
- Airside infrastructure :
- The duplication of runway access aims to allow smoother alignment procedures and provide additional space for aircraft storage before takeoff
- Aircraft parking extension to accommodate 40 remote code C stations.
By 2040, parking areas will have expanded and reorganized around the terminal.
