Other features include a CIP lounge space, an exterior garden, an arrival zone consisting of customs and offices for border police, and an administration space with staff rooms and press conference facilities.
The control tower of the new airport will span 300m2 and be 55m high, and will be covered with a transparent material that changes colour whenever there is a fluctuation in traffic.
The design will feature local and sustainable elements, including an on-site underground source of natural water.
