The proposed 175,000 sq m terminal is designed to serve a total of 26.5m international and domestic passengers, and the existing terminal will be given over exclusively to pilgrim traffic. Operational flexibility and efficiency, a high level of passenger comfort, and adaptability to future needs are at the heart of GMW MIMARLIK concept design. The simple and yet dynamic form of the proposed terminal with a strong visual identity clearly expresses the three main functions of an international terminal; the main processing space for the passengers, commercial areas and the airside lounges. The linear arrangement of spaces within the pier provide flexible use of a total number of 28 gates.
