Construction on the $165 million addition is expected to begin this spring and include:
- An additional 30,000 sqft on the concourse level
- A new mezzanine

In case you haven’t heard, this is just one of many projects taking place at ABIA. Other upgrades in the works include:
- Filling in the empty space above baggage claim to add more square footage for bag checking and security screening, at a cost of $175 million
- A new centralized bagging handling system with the ability to process 4,000 bags per hour, at a cost of $176.5 million
