“travellers would check in, clear immigration and undergo security checks before proceeding to Terminal 1 for departure”

Web search results explicitly state that the facility will house check-in counters, security screening, and immigration clearance, and that passengers will use automated people mover services to distribute to boarding areas (which are in Terminal 1, as implied by the need to move between terminals).

“The dedicated departure concourse and boarding gates were slated to open at the end of next year”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web sources discuss the phased opening. One source explicitly states that the passenger concourse and boarding gates won't open until 2027, which aligns with the claim that they were slated for the end of the following year (relative to a 2026 opening of the check-in hub).
