Concept designs for Pittsburgh’s new $1.1 billion terminal were released in February.
The two-story building will be built adjacent to the current Airside facility between Con-
courses C and D and is scheduled to open in 2023.
The airport saw more than 9.6 million passengers in 2018, its busiest year since 2007.
British Airways launched nonstop flights to London earlier this year.

The new $1 billion terminal at the New
Orleans airport will have 35 gates, quick-
er security and bag-handling facilities, a
2,100-space car park and – eventually – a
new highway ramp.
It is almost ready to launch – but its open-
ing date has been repeatedly pushed back,
once due to a sewer line sinking into swampy
ground.
http://www.flymsy.comThe airport serves more than 25 million passengers a year, “from facilities
that were designed 50 years ago, which were intended to serve half as many
travelers,” according to its
website.
Construction on the
$3.6 billion redesign
began in July 2014 and
will continue in phases
through to 2024.
The airport will get a
replaced terminal, 15 new
gates, two new concourses
and a new parking garage.

It’s early days for this project, which is currently
just a joint proposal by American Airlines and the
airport to construct a sixth terminal, targeted at
a 2025 opening. It would form part of a improve-
ments package that could reach $3.5 billion.
The airport is growing fast, with CEO Sean
Donohue saying he expects to reach close to 100
million passengers over the next ten years.

Ground broke on the $1.5 billion project
to demolish and replace the 1970s vintage
terminal at Kansas City International
Airport in March.
The current airport has three U-shaped
terminals and has not expanded in decades
despite a trebling of passenger traffic.
It will be replaced with a single large ter-
minal, a new parking garage, road network,
and tarmac improvements.
