When Terminal 1 at the San Diego International Airport opened in 1967, it served 2.5 million passengers that year. In 2018, the same facility served more than 12 million. The new Terminal 1 will be a more modern and efficient facility with 30 gates – 11 more than the existing Terminal 1. It will offer more gate-area seating, restaurants and shops, as well as additional security checkpoints with more lanes and a host of energy-efficiency upgrades.
An extended “on airport” roadway system will take inbound airport traffic off of North Harbor Drive at Laurel Street and a new, 5,500 car Parking Plaza will support the new Terminal. The Terminal will be built in two phases with the first 19 gates opening in 2025 and the remaining 11 gates opening in 2027.
The Airport Development Program (ADP) also includes the design and construction of a new Administration Building and new airside paving and improvements that will be designed and built by other contractors.
