AECOM Hunt served as construction manager for the new North Terminal at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport – a nearly $1 billion project.
Working in partnership with local contractors Gibbs Construction, Boh Bros and Metro Site Services, we delivered this major new terminal which completely replaces the aging terminals to the south side of the runway.
Spread across three concourses, the new 35-gate modern terminal is just under 1,000,000 square foot and includes a parking garage, surface parking, airline ticket offices, and ticketing hall. The terminal was designed with an ease of use customer experience in mind, featuring centralized local restaurants and retail shops, a new consolidated security checkpoint, an open concept design, and a new inbound and outbound in-line baggage system.
Open to passengers in 2019, the North Terminal became the first new terminal constructed in the United States since the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal at Indianapolis International Airport was completed in 2008 – also built by AECOM Hunt.
