A new 200,000ft² customs and border protection (CBP) centre will also be added, designed to process 4,000 arriving passengers per hour.

The new concourse will also feature an improved security screening checkpoint and baggage screening facilities for Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as well as employee parking.

Development of the facility will be carried out with a pre-design planning phase, which will be followed by an environmental assessment to evaluate the impacts over the next three to four years.

Construction of the new Diamond Head Concourse is due to commence in five years.

The project will be funded by HDOT through concessions and airline revenue as well as landing fees, terminal rentals, parking revenue, rental car customer facility charges, passenger facility charges and federal grants.
