Operating hoursH24 - no publicly documented curfew. Airport currently operates on a single runway (06/24); a second, parallel runway (3,600m x 60m, sited roughly 2,140m south of the existing runway) broke ground on 6 March 2026, with main construction planned through 2029 to relieve peak-hour capacity pressure.
TerminalsSingle active passenger terminal, T3 (opened 15 Aug 2013, ~248,000 sqm, designed for 17.5M pax/yr); the three-terminal complex (T1+T2+T3) was designed for a combined 25M pax/yr and 420,000 tonnes cargo/yr, with T1 (opened 1989) repurposed as a cargo facility and T2 (opened 2001) out of passenger service since T3 opened. A fourth terminal (T4) and a west-side terminal area appear in the province's long-range 2035 masterplan (five terminals, four runways, targeting 45M pax/yr and roughly 400,000 tonnes/yr cargo), but as of 2026 T4 construction has been decoupled from the second-runway project and is not currently underway, with its planned west airport entrance and metro connection indefinitely delayed.
