In 2024, the airport opened a new international terminal and VIP terminal, fully upgraded engineering networks and infrastructure. According to QIC, the renovation increased the airport's capacity, improved passenger service quality, and created over a thousand new jobs. The company has not yet disclosed the deal value, potential buyer, or sale timeline.
