Washington National Airport's Terminal 1 to Undergo $933 Million Redevelopment

Washington National Airport's Terminal 1 to Undergo $933 Million Redevelopment

Washington National Airport's Terminal 1, known as 'the banjo,' is set for a $933 million redevelopment. The project will replace the existing terminal with a new nine-gate concourse and a headhouse for ticketing and baggage systems. The redevelopment aims to preserve the historically protected portions of the original terminal while modernizing passenger facilities. The new concourse will feature a 10,000 square foot lounge, likely for Southwest Airlines, which currently operates from Terminal 1 along with Air Canada and Frontier Airlines. The project is expected to be completed in phases, with the new concourse operational by 2031 and the headhouse by 2044.
