This first phase of work consisted of the implementation of a new check-in area on the east side of the terminal, including self-service kiosks, counter service, an area for Air Canada passengers, new baggage conveyors, the addition of space for airlines and a new mezzanine to facilitate the view of check-in operations.
In response to the area's new check-in mode, the architecture is simplified and the number of elements in the passengers' field of view is limited to make orientation easier.
