New terminal under construction to be for 30 gates. They are planning to add 6 more.

Figure 6 flights per day per gate. This is great for continued work for international service, and hopefully focus city designation from Southwest as Hobby and Love Field get built out.

Knowing New Orleans construction, it'll be projected to be complete in 2020 and done by 2032

Cool, but can we clean what we have now? it is embarrassing to fly into other cities then come back.

Agreed. I'll be jumping in on both of them.

From what I've heard and this could be false, but once the new gates and terminals are competed they are closing the old outdated ones.

Of course they are closing the old one

Hopefully the old garages are kept and used as $5 a day parking.

Gotta start the bid process now so all the Airport Commission family members aren't out of wor k pending the start of new construction. I love me some NOLA but the amount of graft and nepotism never ceases to amaze.

Frankfurt, not Hamburg.

You know Copa has several NS flights per week from MSY to Panama City, Panama.

Like 4 or 5 days a week service each way.

$11 is the best I've seen and includes a hike.

I posted about this in the BA LHR flight thread and got down voted. But the new terminal was designed to be too small from the get go. (Currently have 42 gates, new terminal will start with 30 + these 6) and the terminal will go from 6 customs accessible gates to 2. They pulling a fast one on taxpayers.
