Advertising spaces and check-in areas were also redesigned with modern interiors.

New signage, flight information displays, and check-in counters were installed to streamline passenger flow.

Amenities such as high-speed Wi-Fi, charging stations, free drinking water, digital maps, luggage wrapping, and work desks were added

Services for VIPs, elderly passengers, people with disabilities, and families with children were expanded.

The airport has also embraced digital transformation, introducing automated toll systems, airport data management software, AI-powered passenger flow analysis, chatbot assistance, and automated tray return systems.

In 2025, the airport pioneered smart terminal technology, applying biometric registration and automated boarding gates to reduce waiting times.
