Airport Question
I saw somewhere the new terminal is set to open this month. Is this true and if so what is the projected date?
Yes, the new terminal at Key West International Airport (EYW) is indeed scheduled to open in the near future. The terminal project is part of a larger $100 million renovation and expansion effort aimed at improving passenger experience and airport capacity. The new terminal will have modern amenities, additional space, and enhanced facilities for travelers.
As of the latest updates, the new terminal is expected to open later this year. While the exact date has been slightly fluid due to construction timelines, the projected opening is expected to occur in late 2023 or early 2024. There have been some delays, but the project is advancing and getting closer to completion. If you're planning travel soon, it's a good idea to check the official airport website or contact the airport directly for the most up-to-date information on the exact date of the opening.
- New Features: The new terminal will feature larger gate areas, expanded security, and upgraded baggage claim areas, along with new concessions and more efficient passenger flow.
- Improved Facilities: Expect modern restrooms, additional seating areas, and easier navigation through the airport. This expansion will help accommodate more flights and offer better comfort for passengers.
- Temporary Changes: While the new terminal is being completed, some services may temporarily operate from existing facilities or from construction zones. It’s a good idea to arrive early to allow for any extra steps in the process during your travel time.
If you're traveling soon, just be prepared for some changes as the terminal completes its transition. It should be an exciting improvement for those flying into Key West, as the airport is an important hub for both tourists and locals.
