The Northern Mining Transit Center was expanded in 2012, and work was carried out on the existing airport terminal to modernize it and combine the operations of the Center and ARVO.

Designed to service a growing number of passengers, this project also included adding a whole new floor to the existing terminal in the second phase of the Northern Mining Transit Center project. The work was meticulously planned and carried out to avoid disrupting air travel. Certain facilities, like the departure lounge, were given large windows and exposed wood framing, lending them a warm and cozy ambience.
