#[diagram #cb #test #plans #show #site #airport #redevelopment #year
The maps compare the current site of Southwest
airport
 with the
next
 year's redevelopment plans. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that
this
airport
 will be extended its
area
 to support more
gates
, while there are many new facilities, including a new transportation system in the
airport
.
First
 of all, on the current map, the departures hall is on the left side while the arrivals are on the opposite side, and each hall has one door to enter. After development, the location of the two halls will remain unchanged while there are some changes to the facilities in both halls.
Firstly
, the bag drop will be replaced in the same position as the check-in corner so the check-in space will be moved to the opposite side. For the changes in the arrivals hall, the ATM and car hire
area
 will be added.
Lastly
, the cafe will be available in both halls. In the top
area
 of the map - above security passport control and customs, the most obvious change after development
next
 year will be the expansion of the gate
area
 which the
airport
 will
finally
 have the left and right wings attached to the current gate
area
.
As a result
, the number of
gates
 will increase from eight
gates
 to eighteen
gates
 in the
next
 year.
Furthermore
, the sky train will be added to commute passengers in the gate areas, while there will be many shops after people walk through security passport control.
