As a result, the airport terminal has recently been expanded and refurbished to significantly improve its image and services: new areas of documentation, a second floor for boarding gates and waiting areas, a VIP lounge and new, multi-purpose business areas.

It handled 681,551 passengers in 2018, and 708,563 passengers in 2019.[1]
