Dear travelers,
Starting May 1st, 2026, you may notice that most shops and food & beverage locations on the right side after security are closed. This is part of the preparation for the next stage of Gateway 2030 – Phase 1B.
Please rest assured that these shops and dining options will be relocated to other gate areas in the coming months.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue enhancing our airport to create a better travel experience for everyone.
