ourairports.com doesn't have its own fleet of satellites. It has to rely on what Google provides. If the picture is out of date, then only Google can update it.

Airport overview Posted by on September 26, 2011

The satellite picture is at least 3 years old and doesn't show the new terminal that is the only one in use now and for at least 2 years from now.
