The Macau International Airport Company has announced plans to launch the Passenger Terminal Building South Extension Design & Build Project in early 2019. According to a press release, the project will occupy an area of 5,700 square meters, extending three levels from existing passenger terminal buildings for a total floor area of 17,100 square meters.

Upon completion of the project, the overall design capacity of the passenger terminal building will be increased to 10 million passengers per year.
