Our vision and plan

This transformation is the evolution of our vision, built on our Master Plan, which projected strong passenger growth from 2017-2037, necessitating significant expansion projects in our passenger facilities and investments in airport infrastructure. Our latest passenger growth projections for the next decade fall within the range predicted in 2017.
