Nice! When they will start terminal modernization or any new construction going on lately? Can we see a construction photos?

Don't you have any news about South Gate Complex? What about UA, AA, WN, NK, F9 will ever relocate out of main terminal? Because it getting more overcrowded at the main terminal.

Work on the first phase has just begun. There really isn't much to see yet except some demo of sections of the parking deck.

More on the modernization.

Quote:
While their appearance will be grand, the canopies also will improve the guest experience. They will protect passengers from weather conditions, and they will improve traffic flow by housing elevated walkways between the parking decks and terminal.

Work to prepare the foundation for the canopies’ steel trusses began in March 2017. There are 19 supertrusses per canopy, one for each side (North and South). The 38 total supertrusses are each connected to a pier column. Each pier is 21 feet high. Canopies require 3,500 tons of steel, equaling the weight of nine Boeing 777 jets.

The ETFE membrane coverage is almost 10,000 square yards per canopy, and as a bonus, it will illuminate ATL’s facade with more than 3,500 customizable LED strip fixtures with color themes to commemorate holidays and special events.

The projected date of completion is late 2018

They need to work on the traffic plan during construction of these trusses. Landed at 12:15 Friday night and it took 1.5 hours to get through the grid lock after collecting bags. The police had the 2 (of 4 interior) external departue lanes open the entire length of the north terminal for no apparent reason at all as the construction was occuring. Lower level, all exterior departue lanes and the 2 most interior departure lanes were all blocked and no observal reasons why so many lanes were closed especially the interior closest to the doors. Traffic was backed up almost to the Camp Creek exit on 85 South. We Marta or Uber to airport always but because of late flight Marta wasnt an option this time. It was a nightmare so be aware!

Atlanta calls foul on Paulding pursuit of commercial airport service

Lawsuit alleges broken promise to not compete with Hartsfield-Jackson


https://atlanta.curbed.com/2017/7/17...ercial-service
Quote:
Paulding County and the Paulding County Airport Authority are making moves to open up commercial service to Silver Comet Field at Paulding Airport—located nearly an hour northwest of downtown Atlanta.

But, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the City of Atlanta has sued Paulding County in order to block the effort to commercialize the airport.

I thought the Sixth Runway was still in the alternatives selection phase? This seems to make the most sense from a cost standpoint, but I question just how many more movements they will get per dollar of earth moved and concrete poured compared to the other two alternatives.

Atlanta airport’s Plane Train tunnel to be extended

http://airport.blog.ajc.com/2017/08/...o-be-extended/

Quote:
A project to enable the people-mover train at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport’s to handle more passengers is about to get underway.


The tunnel will be extended about 600 feet underneath the airport MARTA station and SkyTrain airport station, allowing more room for trains to turn back to go in the other direction while another train arrives. That is expected to reduce wait times for the train and increase capacity.

The airport is seeking Atlanta City Council approval for a $10 million contract for design and pre-construction work for the Plane Train tunnel extension.

ABM is laying off over 1,100 employees, effective November 15th.

That said, it's because Delta's bringing their passenger services in-house. All affected ABM employees will be able to apply for these positions working directly for Delta.

Delta moving in-house again as part of 1,100 worker layoff at Atlanta airport

I find the pedestrian bridge to be the best part. The canopy seems like a waste of $$$.

I didn't take pictures, but I flew out of Atlanta last week. If I recall the T, A, B, and C gates are in various stages of renovation. There is a completed section I believe in the C gates at the very end- and the renovated area looks amazing. Much more light and open feeling. The airport will look great when complete. I don't know whether the E gates will get renovated or now since they were built in the 90's and still look relatively fresh. I didn't see any renovation work there or the D gates
