Tallinn's Lennart Meri Airport is undergoing a major €75 million, multi-phase expansion due for completion by 2030. The upgrade will be the largest investment in Tallinn Airport's history and will double the airports capacity to 5.5 million passengers per year. The reconstruction will add around 16,500 square metres of new space to the existing facility, while more than 18,000 square metres of the existing terminal will also be rebuilt, bringing a total terminal area of 52,500 square metres. The airport upgrade will include additional terminal space, modernised check-in with self-service kiosks, separate arrivals/departures areas on different levels and expanded border security control. Retail and VIP areas will also be improved, all while maintaining operations and focusing on sustainability.
