Calatrava's design is composed of a main hall, two wings for accepting train, car and bus traffic, and also a gallery leading into the main airport building.

The overall structural system was generated on AutoCAD which provided the basis for structural calculations.

The concourse wings extend 500 meters to both the northeast and southwest, while the gallery reaches out to the southeast over a distance of 180 meters.
