The airport is designed to serve only 2.87 million passengers per year, but it served 4.13 million passengers in 2018. Due to overcrowding, the airport authority pledged to expand the airport capacity from current 3.84 million passengers movement to 5.7 million passengers starting from 2018. The airport authority also focuses on renovating the airport's preexisting facilities. Some facilities that have been refurbished are the toilet and the arrival gates. After finishing the first phase of development, the passenger terminal building is expanded to 36,789 square meters so it can accommodate 3.7 million passengers per year.
