New air terminal makes its debut in Raleigh-Durham
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Raleigh-Durham International's new Terminal 2 opened on Sunday, with some of its largest airline tenants moving operations to the $570 million facility.
American previously operated from Terminal C, which will be demolished in the coming weeks. As part of the move, American will open a new Admirals Club lounge across from gates C1 and C3. The club seats 121 travelers and offers free Wi-Fi, food and drinks.
Terminal 2's north concourse, which marks the first of two construction phases, features seven security checkpoint lanes and three baggage carousels, as well as 26 retail shops and restaurants.
In the second phase of Terminal 2 construction, the airport will build another wing with 13 more gates by the end of 2011. Once completed, Terminal 2 will be 920,000 square feet, nearly three times larger than the current Terminal C, and accommodate up to 11.4 million passengers each year.
