The current airport main terminal building was opened in 1979, and has served international flights since 1985.
The current airport was built south of the wartime airfield along the D950.
After the war, it was developed into the current airport.
However, in the early 1970s it was decided that the current airport should be expanded instead.
Convinced capacity at the current airport will be exhausted, it began a search for a new site.
However, by the early 1970s it had been decided to expand the current airport instead of constructing a replacement.
The current airport was opened on August 4, 1973 and dedicated the following day.
The decision came three decades after officials began searching for a site to replace the current airport, which is operating at near capacity.
It has been built 5 kilometers east of the current airport.
The current airport started to take shape in the 1950s to '60s.
