Federal Airport funds will finance the $45 million project. Construction will take place between early 2024 and 2026. It will greatly extend and replace the outgoing baggage system. Additionally, it enhances the ticketing, central lobby, and other airport activities. Significant, crucial enhancements to the terminal’s mechanical, electrical, communication, and plumbing infrastructure are a part of the construction.
In 2022, IDA achieved a historic milestone by serving over 628,000 passengers, a record. Further, the airport serves the whole region. The extension project is critical to ensure passengers arrive on time and draw additional business to the airport.
