In 2019, the AAI began building an apron for parking of four Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 type aircraft to reduce waiting time for passengers at the airport.
Due to the expansion of the city, the airport suffered from considerable capacity restraints because of the residential and commercial areas surrounding it. This rendered the plan to extend the runway beyond 1,800 meters infeasible, and the airport's hot and high climate compounded the airport's capacity constraints. As the airport was incapable of serving aircraft larger than Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 (which is the largest aircraft operating from the airport), a plan for an entirely new airport was launched.
