The SOM Team, which included Leigh Fisher Associates, was commissioned to develop a Master Plan to cater for expansion to 40 million passengers per annum, a 30-year planning horizon. Our work resulted in a Master Plan that assures the long-term capacity of the airport. It calls for a new runway set at a separation of 2000m, a new terminal complex in the midfield, new ACTC, extensive new cargo areas with the potential of associated free trade zones, and abundant expansion capacity for all other sectors of airport activity. In addition, SOM has set aside areas for associated commercial and leisure development, as well as formulated development guidelines for the region around the airport.

The Master Plan is currently being implemented.
