The two-level, 318,000-square-foot facility introduces 11 new gates and upgrades three existing gates to support both narrow- and wide-body aircraft. Expansive glazing brings in natural light and provides uninterrupted views of the airfield, creating a bright, open environment for travelers.

Holdrooms feature lounge-style seating with built-in USB ports and iPads, allowing passengers to relax, order food, and stay connected. Twenty new dining and retail options are integrated throughout the concourse, giving travelers a variety of choices without leaving the gate area.

Accessible via the existing Terminal C North connector, the concourse includes ramp-level support spaces and an upper level dedicated to passenger amenities and airline lounges.
