The new $1.7 billion terminal promises to provide additional parking, shorter waits at security
checkpoints and baggage claim, and outdoor plazas where people can relax before boarding their flights.
It will replace the current Landside Terminal, which opened in 1992 and is plagued with antiquated
equipment and technology, frequent security checkpoint bottlenecks and an inconvenient layout. It will be directly connected to the Airside Terminal.
