airport is the 28th busiest airport in the world by passenger
traffic, serving over 45 million passengers in 2016, and is
considered one of the fastest-growing in the United States and the
world. It is categorized in the National Plan of Integrated Airport
Systems for 2015–2019 as a primary commercial service (large hub)
airport based on 16,121,123 enplanements in 2012. The airport is the
largest generator of vehicle trips in the state, and its 13,000-car

Our product represents the airport after the expansion construction
work is completed - with the new International Arrivals Facility,
both Satellite Terminals modernized, additional structures added to
the A terminal, and with the amazing Skybridge. The project is
expected to be completed by 2021 at a cost of $766 million. After
the new IAF opens the South Satellite will continue to be used for

will be added in Concourse A, nearly doubling the number of gates
capable of serving larger wide-body aircraft.
