"We chose a slogan that summed up the goal of the airport space upgrades, and thus "more space, more comfort, faster, farther" - stated Giovanni Sanga, president of SACBO - An important investment that allows us to look to the future always with a view to sustainability, taking into account that the end of the passenger terminal expansion works will precede the opening of the direct rail link to the airport. In addition to facilitating accessibility, with a view to multimodality, our goal is to make the passenger terminal increasingly welcoming, functional and pleasant, facilitating check-in and security check operations and allowing passengers to enjoy all services during their time in the terminal."
The work, SACBO reported, is expected to be completed in the month of November 2025.
