“This will give people a glimpse at what the rest of the terminal will look like as we move toward opening new areas and completing the project. The Airport Authority staff looks forward to passengers enjoying some of the new amenities, as well as the new look of FWA moving forward.”

Once the American Airlines ticketing space is operational, work will commence on Allegiant Air’s ticket counter space, followed by tickets counters for Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, FWA said.
