The new North Terminal consist of 35,964 square meters (380,000 square feet) of building with 14 second-level aircraft gates for international flights and 2 ground level domestic gates. The airport is large enough to accommodate most international widebody airliners including the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777 and the Airbus A340, medium sized aircraft including the Boeing 737 and Airbus A310 as well as small aircraft such as the DeHavilland Dash 8 and other such turboprop aircraft. Both runways are very long therefore many different aircrafts can take off and land at this airport. The airport layout consists of one main terminal building which includes three concourses. These concourses are not strictly identified as their name depicts but are divided into the following areas; Gates 1-7, Gates 8-14 and the Tobago concourse which serves flights to Tobago. There is now two runways at the airport. The older Piarco Airport has one runway, the new one has two.
