Key airside projects such as aircraft stands, the parallel taxiway and new immigration and baggage facilities were focused on when the airport was closed.

The airport has also installed temperature checking technology in departure and arrival areas, provided staff with face masks and visors, along with clear instructional signage.

The airport will also carry out rigorous and thorough cleaning routines with the use of an anti-bacterial surface treatment.
