From October to December 2025, a total of 340,778 passengers travelled through the updated terminal, including 111,007 in December alone. The airport now says it is expecting 1.334 million passengers by the end of the 2025–26 financial year.

The Australian Airports Association (AAA), in a pre-budget submission, said that allocating an extra five per cent of revenue per year from the $70 Passenger Movement Charge (PMC), which raises more than $1.35 billion annually, could boost border and airport processing infrastructure.
