Well that airport cost $1.1 billion in 2009. Today that would cost several hundred million more to build. The new MSY is starting with 35 gates but it can be easily expanded to 42 FYI.
Could you explain where those gates go? And will they like the current gates where you cannot use them all at the same time?
I had no problem with the cost of the airport, by the way. They are built with bonds that are paid off by airport fees for the most part rather than taxes. I had a problem with the lie over the cost. I also had a problem with the city that mismanages almost everything they touch building it. The state would have done a far better job. They are not perfect but are far better at such things than the inept folks in New Orleans.
