Commencing in late August 2023, after over 11 months of construction, the passenger terminal has officially completed the reinforced concrete structure from the technical basement to the fourth floor, while also progressing with the installation of the project's mechanical and electrical systems. Despite the challenges posed by weather conditions, nearly 2,500 personnel, including experts, engineers, architects, and workers, supported by 2,000 pieces of machinery, have been working tirelessly day and night to ensure that construction stays on schedule.
