New facilities include more spacious boarding lounge, more modern check-in counter, arranged concession area and a more hygienic toilet. Other land facilities include a building for the Rescue & Fire Fighting Services, a non-directional beacon, a quarantine building and a wider parking area for vehicles. On the air-side, the airport apron is now widened to 103 m x 73 m to cater larger aircraft. A taxi way of area 107 m x 18 m is also constructed. Security-related facility is also improved, such as additional security screening facilities (x-ray baggage), and the construction of security posts in the area of the airport.^[2] Further improvements might include the widening of the airport runway to cater an even larger aircraft.
