Tallinn Airport plans to demolish the old passenger terminal building. This would allow the airport to expand and develop better.
The airport's communications manager Margot Holts says the old building is hindering the airport's growth. The terminal needs more space for passengers and aircraft.
Currently, there is no final decision about the demolition. The airport is discussing with the city of Tallinn and the heritage conservation department.
If the building cannot be demolished, other solutions will be sought. The timing depends on the outcome of the discussions.
The old terminal does not have heritage status. The building was constructed in 1954 and was in use until 1980.
The airport is planning for the future. It wants decisions to support growth until 2040 and beyond.
