It was stated that the grand terminal building, covering an area of 20,000 square metres, had a peak hour capacity to handle around 1400 passengers, which was three times more than the capacity of the old airport.

The report also detailed that a total of 16 check-in counters, three conveyor belts, and a runway measuring 2985m x 45m had been constructed at the new terminal building.
