The plans below show the site of an airport now and how it will look after redevelopment next year. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pictures illustrate the outline of Southwest Airport before and after its redevelopment next year. It can be seen from the drafts that there will be lots of major changes in the waiting area and big increases in the number of gates. The former check-in centre will be relocated from the top left

corner

of the

space

between security passport control and departures to the top

right

corner

of it, and a bag drop will be added at the top left

corner

.

In addition

, the café will be moved from the top

right

corner

of

this

field to the bottom left

corner

of the

space

. There will

also

be a new café added at the top

right

corner

of the area between passport control customs and arrivals,

as well as

an ATM before it.

Moreover

, a square-shaped

space

will be added in the bottom

right

corner

of

this

field for car hire services.

Furthermore

, the number of gates will be increased from 8 to 18 and will be arranged in a “Y” shape,

instead

of the square shape used now.

Besides

, the walkways will be replaced by a sky-train in the middle. There will

also

be a shop added in the

space

between security passport control and the gates.
