TEP will expand the west end of the terminal, aiming to increase capacity and incorporate sustainable elements to further optimize operations, minimize the Airport’s environmental footprint and enhance the guest experience. The expansion includes:
A Consolidated Baggage Inspection System, or CBIS, on the lower level of the terminal, streamlining the checked luggage process from the airline ticketing counter through screening and onto the aircraft.
An Individual Carrier System, or ICS, for baggage handling screening. This will make the Ford International Airport the first small-hub airport in the U.S. to install an ICS.
New ticket counter spaces and the consolidation of all airline ticketing counters to the west end of the terminal.
Expanded baggage claim area with larger carousels to facilitate a more seamless and modernized baggage claim process for arriving passengers.
