The plan, which forecasts more than 72 million passengers through the airport per year by 2045, includes a proposed redevelopment of the domestic precinct to link terminals 2 and 3, with space also added for international flights.
Dubbed the “most significant transformation of the departure hall since the 1970s”, the project will see the installation of common-use self-service kiosks and automated bag drops to replace around 60 existing check-in desks by the end of the decade.
