With a land area of 365ha, the new terminal is anticipated to manage around 31 million passengers annually.

Terminal 4 will be constructed on a constrained site, under which a rail interchange station is located.

Major work on this station has been completed and it is partially in operation. Initially, the station was not designed to handle any added structural loading.

The new terminal building was planned after considering the complex construction interface while deploying integration solutions for reducing operational disruption.
