A main part of the improvement is the reorganisation of procedures across KKIA’s existing terminals, whose original designs have actually progressed because the flight terminal opened up greater than 40 years earlier.
Under the updated arrangement:
- Incurable 5 will certainly be assigned for global trips run by international airline companies
- Terminals 3 and 4 will certainly be allocated for residential flights
- Terminals 1 and 2 will certainly remain to offer worldwide flights operated by national airline companies

RAC kept in mind that the exact day of activation will certainly be validated once all airport fields and airline companies total functional preparedness checks.
