Terminal complex

The airport has four airside piers, which are known as terminals A, B, D and E (also signposted as Gates A, B, D, and E). These are linked to a central air-side building called Airside Centre, built in 1997. Alongside the Airside Center, the ground-side terminal complex named Airport Center comprises several buildings, and includes airline check-in areas, a shopping mall, a railway station, car parks, and a bus and tram terminal. All departing passengers access the same departure level of the Airside Centre, which includes duty-free shopping and various bars and restaurants, via airport security. Arriving passengers are handled in separate areas of the Airside Centre and reach it by different routes, with non-domestic passengers first passing through immigration controls.
