Sofia Airport, in Bulgaria, has revealed its latest plans for its new Terminal 3.
Set to cost around BGN 500 million (£214million), the terminal will allow up to 20million passengers a year to use the airport.
The airport welcomed around 7.2million passengers back in 2023 – so more than doubling its capacity.
The new 65,000sqm terminal will be connected to the current Terminal 2.
All gates will be “accessible within five minutes of the shopping area” to speed up the travel process.
New security checkpoints will be able to process 3,250 passengers an hour, with a total of 35 gates across the two terminal when it opens.
Both kids play areas and dog areas will be inside the airport as well.
More low-cost airlines are also expected to operate from the terminal, which already has flights with Ryanair and Wizz Air.
Works hope to start next year, with an opening date of 2031.
It also hopes to be the first regional airport in Europe to be awarded a 5-star SkyTrax certification.
