The new international terminal is designated terminal 3. Construction of the terminal was started in 2008 and completed in October 2010. The five storey terminal covers an area of 159,000m². The cost of construction of terminal 3 was partly recovered from revenues obtained from duty-free concessions. The terminal was opened on 21 October 2010.
