Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) in Texas has broken ground on the 75,000ft2 Journey With AUS expansion project, which will expand TSA screening, the outbound baggage handling system and more.
The West Infill and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Checkpoint 3 Expansion project will span four levels, delivering: six to eight additional security lanes at TSA Checkpoint 3, streamlining the screening process and reducing wait times for travelers; the completion of the new outbound baggage handling system, which will increase capacity for checked luggage screening, ensuring efficient and timely processing of luggage; expanded ticketing counters and kiosks to accommodate the growing number of passengers passing through the airport; and new offices for AUS and TSA staff, providing improved working environments for airport personnel. Alongside these goals, the airport will also pursue an Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) 3-star rating.
The project will also encompass areas such as apron space, concourse capacity and a new mezzanine level. Additionally, enhancements to mechanical, electrical and IT systems are part of the project to ensure seamless operations and maximum efficiency.
