The airport was later expanded in 2009, the construction added two more boarding gates and larger apron to the airport and was finished in May,2011. The airport is now able to handle long-distance airplanes such as the Boeing 747s. CGQ's terminal, which was expanded to its present size in 2009, encompasses 73,300 m²(788 995 sq ft). of space.
