Of what benefit is spending a billion dollars to replace a fully functioning airport?

It wasn’t wonderfully functioning, but I bet I could have made it so for something less than $100 million.
ETA, and still had use of the perfectly functioning existing Interstate access.

They are expanding it not replacing. Also, MSY is a dump comared to other airports around the country.

fully functioning airport
But I will say that the same inmates will just be running a different billion dollar asylum, so your point is valid

The airlines don’t consider MSY fully functioning. They absolutely hate it. It’s an outdated dump.
The airlines were the ones really pushing it. They will be much more efficient with the new setup.

While I cannot argue it is a huge mess this is a worthwhile project. Nola is a major destination for tourism regardless of the crap we give the place and incompetence running the city. Not sure if it still that way but when I flew to London on the direct flight it was packed with people from France every time. Also, as another poster stated, the current one is crap.

Cost $400 million, they stole the other $600 million.....plus Mitch got his name on it....
Exactly what NO needed....
This will be a shitshow of epic proportions......Lee Zurik will have a field day, and will keep him busy for years on these stories...

Contracts for contractors that make political contributions and jobs of minority owned firms. Spending money is great for politicians.

The old terminal was a straight up dump. Construction may have been a shite show, but this was needed.

The old terminal is 60+ years old, and the feel of a mausoleum
But asphalt on entry/exit roads? They spent all that money and couldn't use concrete. New Orleans cant f'ing survive without pot holes.

Want it to look nicer for the people coming to the city. Especially for international flights.

Improved quality of life? I guess you’ve never been to a decent airport before. Fly from MSY to Tampa and then you’ll appreciate a good airport (Tampa) vs an incredibly shitty one (New Orleans).
