Keflavik International Airport's Masterplan is a vision of how the airport can develop in the future in line with passenger numbers and the needs of the society. The Masterplan includes a Diamond Gate in the north-east quadrant of the airfield. This area will provide new cargo aircraft apron area, cargo facilities, freight forwarding and administrative facilities. One of the keys to this area is the close proximity to the terminal apron, providing operational efficience for cargo split between dedicated freighters and passenger aircraft, fully utilizing the airports route network.

Additionally, an airside security access gate will be located in the Diamond Gate area. One of the key benefits of the inclusion of the Diamond Gate area is that cargo traffic does not need to circulate through the terminal area.
