The entire terminal's "look & feel" will improve dramatically once the renovation works are completed. The terminal which was taken into operation in 1986 includes 10 contact stands. The facility accommodates around 3.5 million passengers per year and houses most of the international airlines.
Upgrade of terminal 2 shall include a modernization of the 20 years old facility to reach the same level of service as the new Terminal 3 since booth terminals will be operated "under one roof" in the near future. NACO/ECG were assigned to prepare three (3) different scenarios for Terminal 2’s re-development and the draft report was submitted in April 2008. The detailed design for T2 is ongoing. The project which will take 36 months will double the capacity of T2 to around 7.5 million passengers. It will include larger and more modern retail areas and will also include Airbus A380 gates. The project will take around 36 months to be completed at a cost of approximately USD 350 million. Upon completion in 2013 the passengers can expect a highly enhanced modern designed terminal offering international standard service levels and more passengers' convenience to include a large and appealing retail area and lounges.
