Originally built in 1975, Terminal A was the airport’s sole terminal for 30 years until Terminal B opened in 2004. Construction of a new Terminal A commenced in 2005 and was inaugurated in 2008. The original Terminal A was eventually torn down in March of 2012, to make way for a footbridge connecting the new one with Terminal B. Intended to service small planes with a maximum capacity of 50 people, Terminal B has gates but no check-in counters or arrival halls. It is used primarily by Luxair’s Q400 fleet and can handle up to 600,000 passengers a year.
