The terminal, which took six years to build at a cost of €3.4 billion, features biometric processing for departures, a central security hub designed to eliminate queuing bottlenecks, and a rooftop solar installation covering 40% of the building's energy requirements.

Airlines have already allocated additional services to the new terminal, with summer capacity expected to exceed last year's peak by 18%.
