New North Terminal gates are scheduled to open progressively throughout the construction phase of the program, joining the 11 gates already in operation. Thirty-nine additional international/domestic gates will open in phases each year until the project is completed, for a total of 50 gates.
North Terminal’s new gate assignment tower is scheduled to open in April 2008 to serve flights at Concourse D and all other North Terminal gates as they open.
The new Federal Inspection Services area will be 400,000 square feet in size with 72 service lanes and will have the capacity to process 3,600 international passengers per hour.
To facilitate passenger connections within this new, one-mile-long terminal, a rooftop automated people mover with four stations is being built. The people mover will be able to transport 9,000 passengers per hour.
Four spacious, circular common areas in North Terminal will feature concessions, passenger lounges and modern architectural elements such as sky lights for natural lighting.
The North Terminal will be occupied by American Airlines, its oneworld Alliance and code share airline partners, and will integrate American Eagle’s operation.
