– After years of delays, the Jacksonville International Airport is expanding, breaking ground at 9 a.m. Friday on the new “Concourse B.”
Last year, more than 7 million people traveled through JAX, according to our news partners at the Jacksonville Daily Record.Currently, the airport has “A” gates and “C” gates, but building Concourse B will add six gates, which means more flights can be scheduled. And put to four more gates for plane parking could be added if necessary.There are also plans for a new taxiway that will allow more than one take-off point and a third parking garage that will add roughly 2,000 new parking spaces.
New plans for the concourse were announced in 2019, but that project was delayed because of the pandemic. Start your morning with our daily forecast, trending news and stories curated by The Morning Show team.There was a steep drop in people traveling through the airport from an average of 12,000 people a day in 2019 to just 500 a day in 2020.
Representatives at the airport expect construction on Concourse B to be completed by the end of 2026.
