The development of NAICM is planned in four stages. Phase I, scheduled to open by October 20, 2020, will consist of one main terminal of 8,000,000 square feet (743,000 m2) and three independent runways, which would yield a capacity for 68 million passengers annually. In its final Phase (2065), NAICM will consist of six runways, an additional main terminal and two satellite terminals, with capacity for 120 million passengers - making it the second largest airport in the world today.
