Square Footage

This reconfiguration allows for an A380 aircraft (Group 6) to be accommodated on the new Concourse F. At the time of construction, no gate on Concourse F could accommodate the A380, and it was the desire of the Department of Aviation to have the ability to have a Group 6 aircraft gated on Concourse F. Gate F3 was chosen as the best location; however, both the terminal and air-side areas required improvements. The air-side improvements to Gate F3 included an addition of a second loading bridge and relocation of the aircraft lead-in line.

Concourse improvements included a new vertical transportation core and tie-in to the CBP sterile corridor, additional millwork for the new bridge, and extension of the concourse level sterile corridor to tie-in to the new vertical transportation core. The vertical transportation core included a stairway, elevator, and an escalator.
