The general mission will modernize the airport, accommodate elevated passenger demand and remodel the terminal for at this time’s and tomorrow’s vacationers. It features a refreshed foyer and check-in space, up to date baggage dealing with companies, constructing system and know-how upgrades, workplace and tenant area reconfigurations, an expanded safety checkpoint and accessibility enhancements at baggage-claim-level entrances.
