The airport underwent a large expansion project between January 2006 and September 2008. The existing terminal was expanded by {{convert|35000|m2|abbr=on|sigfig=4}} and the architects of the project were Jean Marie Bonnard, Pia Tasa and Inge Sirkel-Suviste.<ref name="Expansion 2008">{{cite web |title=Reconstruction of Tallinn airport |url=http://www.eareng.ee/blog/reconstruction-of-tallinn-airport-passengers-terminal-workshop-drawings/ |publisher=EA Reng |work=eareng.ee |access-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> The terminal was expanded in three directions, resulting in 18 new gates, separate lounges for [[Schengen Agreement|Schengen]] and non-Schengen passengers, 10 new check-in desks and a new restaurant and cafes. Due to the gallery that connects all the gates and was constructed in the middle of the terminal building the terminal became T-shaped. The projecting terminal section enables a two-level traffic for international passengers. The renewed terminal has nine passenger bridges. The extensions constructed at the ends of the terminal building became additional rooms for registering for the flights and for delivering arriving luggage.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tallinn Airport&nbsp;– The Cohesion Fund projects |url=http://www.tallinn-airport.ee/eng/aboutcompany/thecohesionfundprojects |access-date=10 February 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130329181311/https://www.tallinn-airport.ee/eng/aboutcompany/thecohesionfundprojects |archive-date=29 March 2013  }}</ref> Outside the terminal, the apron was refurbished and expanded and a new taxiway was added. The new terminal allows the airport to handle twice as many passengers as it could handle before. The renovated terminal received the award "Concrete Building of the Year 2008" by the Estonian Concrete Association.<ref name="Expansion 2008" />
