History

The history of the airport dates back to the 1960s when it was constructed after a major landfill project took place, reclaiming 25 percent of land from the nearby lagoon. Over the years a number of improvements have been made to the airport including the opening of a new passenger terminal in 2002, following the rise of cheap flights across Europe. This passenger terminal is planned to be further expanded in the future to help deal with further growth.
