Crews have begun demolition of the old terminal at Manhattan Regional Airport as part of Phase Two of the Terminal Expansion project.

Jesse Romo, Airport Executive Director updated the Airports Advisory Board Monday and explained crews have been mostly working on demolishing the inside of the old terminal.

“Even though the outside looks the same, it’s still standing, inside does not. It’s been torn apart, completely gutted, it’s looking great in there to see progress going,” said Romo.

The outside walls of the old terminal are expected to come down in the next day or two.

Once the old structure is demolished and everything is cleared, crews will begin constructing the new terminal building which will be similar to the new terminal that was completed as a part of phase one.

“It’s going to almost double the square footage. You’ll have the actual baggage claim with the turn style, rental car locations, a meet and greet area, and retail space.”

Phase two is scheduled for a 300 day construction period, and is expected to be open sometime in June of 2016.
