With this project, Corporación Quiport expects to receive 7.5 million passengers per year; at present, 5.4 million are transported. The project involves a total investment of $74.2 million, explained Diego Álvarez, Infrastructure and Engineering manager of the airport.
The project includes an extension of the terminal building by 17,000 square metres . The platform will also be extended by 35,000 square metres. Currently, the area where the planes are parked is 100,000 m2.
The expansion of the passenger terminal includes four levels:
Level 0: Expansion of technical rooms and warehouses for terminal suppliers.
Level 1: Expansion of the public arrivals hall, baggage claim area, increase in the capacity of the international baggage carousels (from two to three), reconfiguration of the Customs area, expansion of the duty-free shop and the baggage handling system.
Level 2: Expansion of the public departure hall, passenger check-in area with 20 new counters and 12 self-check-in machines, pre-boarding lounge for 350 passengers, expansion of the international departure duty-free shop and new food and beverage areas.
Level 3: expansion of the international VIP lounge, which currently measures 950 square metres, to nearly 2,000, with capacity to accommodate 200 people.
With the expansion of the platform, there will be more space for 'type E' aircraft, which are the largest, for long-distance flights, and for 'type C' aircraft, which are smaller in scale, explained the Infrastructure Manager.
The terminal expansion project is being carried out by Ekron Construcciones and the terminal expansion by Tracto Repuestos. The supervisory company is Icorp. Around 400 people are working on the project. Currently, the airport receives about 5.4 million passengers a year.
