The terminal 2B renovations and work on the junction building with the 2D endpoint occurred during the crisis. They have reopened in July; after 5 years and 250 million euros of work.

The goal is to modernize and increase the capacity of terminal 1 to 10,2 million passengers per year (compared to 9 million before the pandemic).
