OAK has busiest May in 8 Years

6/27/2016

0 Comments

 
This May, Oakland Int'l had its busiest may since 2008, with over 1 million passengers. It was also the 30th consecutive month of year-over-year traffic growth at the airport.

The airport's director, Bryant Francis, commented, "We are very pleased to witness this continued upward pattern as the busy summer travel season gets underway...There is a growing awareness of the Oakland airport as a major air access channel, not just for the East Bay but for the entire Bay Area...This is echoed by our air carrier partners through the addition of flights and new nonstop routes and from our customers through making ever greater use of the steadily-increasing number of available seats."

Terminal 1 Groundbreaking

6/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Next Wednesday, June 29, SFO will break ground for the new Terminal 1 project, which will include a new central check-in and security area, baggage claim, and a corridor to the AirTrain station, which two new boarding areas. B/A B, originally built in 1963 (with upgrades on the eastern satellite by TWA for their 747s in the 70s, among other additions) will be demolished, and B/A C (from the 80s) may be demolished also).

A temporary boarding area will open as a replacement until 2020.

"With each facility enhancement, we continue to build on central themes, such as guest-focused design, creative displays of public art, local business participation, and environmental sustainability," John Martin, Airport Director.

The project will cost 2.4 billion. This will be the last stage of the airport's capital improvement plan of 4.1 billion.

The new Terminal 1 will open sometime in 2020 and will most likely be LEED Gold Certified, like Terminal 2.
