The new cargo terminal building will be built about 400m from Lajes Civil Air Terminal between two existing hangars and the road.

The first unit will has several areas: sorting and temporary storage of post; goods, sorting and temporary storage of export and import goods; customer services as well as offices, including Customs.
The second unit will house three separate spaces for the sorting and temporary storage of goods for operations of three freight forwarders.
