The airport underwent a massive renovation and expansion project from 1999-2001, in which the former parking lot was cleared and a terminal expansion was built. This incorporated new check-in areas, a new entrance to the airport, the construction of a multi-story parking structure, and an airport mall with brand stores such as Jansport , Debenham's , and a Virgin Megastore . A food court forms an integral part of this expansion, with a Pizza Express and Starbucks Coffee as well as fast-food outlets such as Fuddrucker's and KFC .
Kuwait International Airport can currently handle six million passengers a year. Recently, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has announced that a new terminal will begin construction, and will increase the annual passenger handling amount to fourteen million.
