The plans below show the site of an airport now and how it will look after redevelopment next year. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The plans illustrate how the Southwest airport is expected to be redeveloped from its current setup.
Overall, the main change involves the addition of some new amenities, namely a bag drop, a car hire, an ATM, and shops. Moreover, the number of gates will greatly expand after modernizing.
Currently, in the location of departures, there is check-in and a coffee to the left and to the right respectively, but after developing, the former is moved on top of the right side, while the latter is in the bottom corner of the left. In addition, a new bag drop will be erected on the original site of the check-in, and new shops will be constructed on top of the security passport control. By contrast to the arrivals side which is empty now, after a year, three brand-new amenities will be set up, including a cafe, an ATM, and a car hire, all of which are on the right-hand side.
Furthermore, a huge change can be seen in terms of the number of gates. After a year, the gates will increase more than twofold compared to the present, from 8 gates to 18 gates. In the middle, the current walkways are replaced to make a way for two new sky trains.
