"An airport construction project of this magnitude should be able to stand for at least 50 years."

“This is why we have created large scope in the structures so that considerable modification is not required each time new needs impose new demands on the interior design and functions.

“More passengers want to fly directly to long distance destinations. This requires larger aircraft and so capacity for a higher passenger flow through the building, which is reflected in all technical installations and the interior design of lounges, passenger control, etc.”

Once complete, Pier E will be able to accommodate more aircraft stands, thereby serving additional routes.

Slated to open for passengers from 1 April 2019, the new facility will have ten gates for large aircraft and 20 gates for smaller aircraft operating on European routes.
