The construction in terminal 2 started in 2009 to integrate the current baggage handling systems into the baggage handling centre that will be opened in 2010. Finavia will use this period to renovate the existing terminal, which was opened in 1969.

In August he Departure Hall 3 was closed while the work lasts. The work will be completed in April 2010, when some of the new check-in facilities will be opened and more capacity will be acquired. In April, renovation work for the next part of the terminal will start.
