Expanded Facilities
Building construction is set to begin in spring 2020 on the addition to Concourse A, which will add eight gates and new amenities. Expansion of the terminal apron to support this state-of-the-art concourse is already underway, thanks to more than $14.4 million in federal and state commitments from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Michigan Department of Transportation. The current 66-foot Concourse A will be widened to up to 120 feet and lengthened by 510 feet to a total of more than 900 feet.
When completed in 2023, the GFIA morning launch will be more seamless for passengers and airlines, and the airport will be situated to accept many more daily flights for thousands of additional passengers. Concourse A is expected to create more than 125 construction jobs and 300-plus permanent positions.
