The Main International Terminal at Kaliburg International Airport aims to expand

A public private partnership at Kaliburg International Airport in Kaliburg has broken ground and aims at creating three new International Concourses to allow Kaliburg International to receive and send more flights to other countries. Along with the building of three additional concourses that will house a total of 26 new gates, the Airport will be remodelling its existing three concourses to better accommodate International Travel.

The new concourses will be laid out as follows: Two will be reserved for AeroKal international service exclusively. AeroKal currently flies directly to Lourenne, Hutori, Tukarali, Rildanor, Gaduridos, Aldegar, Indrala, and Likatonia, with connections to points east and west. AeroKal is currently interested in increasing its international flights and so one of the new hubs will be specifically dedicated to the Kalistani airline.

The other four councourses will be reserved for airlines by volume. As Kalistan has not participated in bidding and gate contracts, international services are currently limited. However, the new construction at the Internatnional Terminal will permit Kalistan to standardize its practices with the rest of the worlds, and begin taking contracts for gates at the International terminal. Currently. the plan is for flights originating in Lourenne to be shifted to the Domestic Terminal: This makes sense as all flights originating in and travelling to Lourenne are already considered international flights. After that, foreign airlines will be permitted to contract for gate access on a first come first serve basis, and 2-year gating agreements will be instituted with right of first refusal going to the contracting airline on renewal.

The construction is to be financed by The National Government, who will undergo capital expansion of the terminal, and each ruble will be matched by investment from AeroKal, who will operate and staff the terminal following its construction. After that maintenance costs will be split between the National Treasury and AeroKal. Kalistan is expected to continue to own the physical structure, with AeroKal specifically leasing it from the National Government.

This expansion is expected to be completed in two years. Actual airport capacity expansion is being considered but the Government has signaled a conservative approach to see if runway expansion is necessary based on increased volume of flights.
