The airport has evolved and prospered over time, with passenger and air traffic figures constantly rising. In the 1990s the IAA recognised the fact that the old Terminal 1 was no longer capable of handling the increasing passenger traffic, and a joint decision was made with the Minister of Transport to build a new terminal with higher capacity – Terminal 3. The Airport has two main terminals: Terminal 3 for international flights and Terminal 1 for domestic and low-cost international flights.
The airport is a modern facility, equipped with state-of-the-art technological installations and operational facilities that meet international standards. The airport is accessible to disabled passengers and provides passenger service and special VIP services. The safety and security measures implemented at the Airport meet the highest global standards and air traffic safety is top priority.
