Expansion of Terminal 3 is part of that master-plan. New Terminal 3 was formally opened on August 9, 2016. At present the new Terminal 3 has no connection with the building of the old Terminal 3, but the older Terminal 3 will be renovated with a connection to be built between the old and new terminals. T3 is being built as an aerotropolis terminal. Terminal 3 will be able to serve 60 airplanes from the current 40 airplanes.
On January 22, 2018, international flights of AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia X, and Philippines AirAsia will move back to Terminal 3. The airlines will be the first LCC carrier to move to Terminal 3, after being dominated by full-service carriers since the opening of Terminal 3 Ultimate.
