In 1997, the terminal was modernized with five new gates, and the highway access has been reconstructed.

CWA has T-Hangars for lease or an individual or corporation can construct their own hangar.[4]

On 1 September 2012, the airport began a $10 million modernization program, moving the security checkpoints and enlarging the ticket counters to lower passenger congestion. The airport is gaining a geothermal energy system that will reduce utility bills, providing all but 20% of its heating and cooling requirements.[5]
