[edit] 2005-2006 Reconstruction
The Domestic Terminal of the airport underwent complete renovation in 2005-2006, which made it one of the most comfortable and up-to-date airport terminals in Russia. The renovated terminal was re-opened on December 19, 2006.
[edit] Future expansion
Russian and regional government announced plans to rebuild Vladivostok International Airport prior to the APEC Russia 2012 Summit on Russky Island, south of Vladivostok. The projected capacity should increase to 1360 passengers an hour (up to 5 million a year).
