Important infrastructure developments and/or other news

Toulouse-Blagnac achieved these last years its expansion plan with the construction of a new hall (Hall D) that has been operational since June 2010. This new hall allowed the airport to increase its passenger capacity from 6.2 to 8.5 million, but also the passenger to spend a pleasant moment while its waiting time. Indeed, they wait now in a more enjoyable departure lounge, have access to a vast new shopping area (1,650 sq.m) located after the security check area (with shops, restaurants, bars, exchange offices, duty free outlets, etc.).

What's more, Toulouse-Blagnac Airport also built a new car park that opened in June 2011, to offer to its visitors more comfort and to spare them stress.
