This is the new 247,000 square foot U.S. Departures Terminal. This is Stage 1 of 3 Stages of renovation. The plans include a renovation of the current U.S. terminal to be the new U.S./International arrivals terminal. Stage 3 will be a domestic terminal.


Miami
The final addition to Miami's North Concourse, the exclusive home provence of American Airlines, opened in late 2010. This section completes this massive project which began in the early part of the decade. The North Concourse was the subject of major cost over-runs, delays, and controversies when American Airlines initially managed the problem. The new airport director and his team turned the troubled project around when its construction was recaptured by Miami Dade County. It resulted in the temporary closure of Terminal A for over 2 years, and the demolition of Terminals B & C.
This American Airlines Boeing 737-800 is seen on final take-off roll from the North Runway 27 in front of the now complete MIA American Airlines Concourse D.
American was the exclusive user for the time being of Concourse E which is divided between "High" and "Low" gates by a train. These terminals were built in the mid 1970s and first used by Eastern. American has since moved over to Concourse D.
Concourse F was originally used by Pan Am when it was built in the 1970s. United moved in when they took over Pan Am's Latin American services in the 1990s and created the short-lived hub. UA dissolved the hub in 2004 and for a time didn't even serve Miami with its mainline carrier, leaving those services to TED and United Express partners. It was also used as Iberia's hub until that too was shutdown. Currently, Aeromexico, Alaska, British Airways, Santa Barbara Airlines, and Vision operate from here as of 2010.
Nine months into flight testing of the Boeing 787 in September 2010, the Dreamliner made its first visit to South Florida's Ft Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The aircraft made 3 sorties to South Texas and back during its 3 day stay. N787BX is significant in that it was the first 787 with a partial passenger interior and the first to fly internationally, dispatched to the Farnborough International Air Show in July, 2010. This aircraft, also known as ZA003, was the third 787 off the line and third to join the test program.
Nearly 5 years after the tragic crash that led to the demise of Chalk's International Airlines, seaplanes have returned to the former Watson Island Miami base with this Grumman G-21A Goose - registered to Dinca Inc.
Dallas Love Airport is undergoing its first major renovation in 30 years with new ticketing and baggage halls and a new concourse due by 2013. Airchive visited DAL in September, 2010 and photographed the new plans as well as the original terminal. With the final sunset of the Wright Amendment in 2014, Southwest and other airlines will be able to serve all states non-stop in the Continental U.S. with none of the passenger capacity limitations that exist now. However, the gates and slots have been capped as part of the compromise to restrain growth. As part of the end of Wright, rules not allowing through-ticketing to non-adjacent states have been discontinued. In addition, nonstop flights to Alabama and Mississippi but curiously not Colorado, are now allowed with no passenger capacity restrictions. Southwest remains the dominant carrier with limited Delta Comair and Continental/United Express flights. Until the opening of DFW in 1974, DAL was the main airport for Dallas and Ft. Worth.
The Dallas Love Mockingbird Lane Terminal opened in 1958. Until DFW's opening in 1974, it was the main airport for Dallas. All airlines including Braniff whose headquarters and maintenance remained here, moved to DFW except for Southwest who remains the dominant carrier here today.

By 2010, Alaska had become a highly profitable airline serving destinations from Hawaii to the East Coast to Mexico, with Hawaii responsible for 15% of the airline's revenue after 3 short years. The airline flies an all Boeing 737 fleet.


This is the route map combining Frontier and Midwest Airlines route map at the time of the takeover and merger of both carriers by Indianapolis based Republic Air. At this point, the former Frontier hub of Denver and former Milwaukee hub of Midwest were under attack by Southwest.
Terminal 3, opened in 1991. Most Skyteam and Oneworld airlines serving Pearson operate out of Terminal 3, along with most airlines that are not affiliated with an airline alliance such as WestJet. Terminal 3 has 39 gates: A1–A6, B7–B22 and C24–C41. It has been expanded several times in 2004, 2006, and 2008.

This cutaway of a circa 1974 Boeing 747 is the pride and joy of the Airchive model collection. It was painstakingly restored over the course of 3 years by Roger and Carol Jarman's excellent team at Atlantic Models. This model arrived in such a shambles that they were forced to fabricate many pieces such as the seats themselves.
The 2010 Farnborough Air Show was noteworthy for its optimistic tone, record sales announcements, daily fly by's courtesy of the Airbus A380, and the first international appearance by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Lihue Airport located on the island of Kauai is served by American, Delta, United, and USAirways who all use Boeing 757-200s. Alaska and WestJet use Boeing 737-800s. Hawaiian uses Boeing 717-200s. Go! Moulele uses CRJ-200s. This is one of rare jet airports not to see service from Airbus A320s. Lihue is typical of Hawaiian airports with its open-air curbside and airside operations. This airport was severely damaged in 1992 with the onslaught of Hurricane Iniki

Since the demise of Miami based Chalk's in 2005, Seattle is the mecca for floatplane operations. Kenmore Air the last large scale remaining seaplane airline with regularly scheduled service in the Continental U.S. Its headquartered on Kenmore Harbor near Seattle, but operates scheduled and charter seaplane and land plane service to destinations throughout western Washington and southwestern British Columbia, as well as seaplane "flightseeing" flights around Seattle from its Lake Union base near downtown. Kenmore was founded in 1946. It operates the following seaplanes: Cessna 180s, 2 turbo deHavilland DHC-2 Beavers, 8 original DHC-2 Beavers, 6 deHavilland Turbine Otters, and 2 SuperCubs. One of the Turbine Otters, sports a flashy promotional scheme from the local NBC-TV Station KING-TV. Kenmore also operates 4 Cessna 208 Caravan's as land planes from Boeing field.

Terminal 2 was opened in 1962 as the home of Northeast Airlines, Braniff and Northwest Airlines. After the Delta's takeover of Northeast Airlines in 1972, Braniff's bankruptcy in 1982, and Delta's takeover of Northwest, the building was taken over by Delta Air Lines. This terminal was known as the most frugal terminal at JFK, yet ironically will be the longest lasting when Delta plans to connect T2 with T4 once it moves int'l operations into T4 and demolishes T3.


Terminal 3 was built as the Worldport in 1960 for Pan American, and substantially expanded for the introduction of the 747 in 1970 with a new pier. When Delta took over for the bankrupt Pan Am, Delta took over the entire terminal, and has a connector to Terminal 2, its other terminal at JFK. Terminal 3 has 16 jetway equipped gates: 1–10, 12, 14–18, some of which were originally connected by ramps underneath the canopy in the pre-jetbridge era. This terminal was also noteworthy for the parking lot on top of the terminal. Terminal 3, though historic, is woefully crowded, ineffecient, and therefore inadequate for New York JFK's #1 international carrier Delta.
Unlike TWA's historic Terminal 5, In August, 2010, a 1.2 billion dollar project was announced which would expand T4 into which Delta would move its current T3 operations, demolish T3 immediately following Terminal 4's expansion in 2013 and construct a connector between T2 and T4 for Delta transfers. T3 would be entirely demolished in 2015, including the 'flying saucer' roof, after the T4 expansion is completed. Terminal 2, though lacking any real sort of flair or design remains somewhat functional with domestic and Canadian routes operating mostly here.
Delta, who had not been a Boeing 747 operator, since the mid 1970s, became a 747 operator in a big way at the time of the 2008 acquistion of Northwest. Northwest's main 747 service at the time of the merger was New York JFK to NWA's Tokyo Narita hub. Delta has shifted many of the 747s to other routes such as South America, but the JFK-NRT route remains.
Terminal 4 is the major gateway for international arrivals at JFK, replacing the original International Arrivals Building (IAB)), Opened in 2001, the new terminal replaced the IAB which opened in 1957. Terminal 4 has 17 gates in two concourses: A2-A7, B20, B22-B31. The number of gates will be expanded for all of Delta Air Lines international flights to be operated from Terminal 4, beginning in 2013.
Airchive visits Paris' secondary, but fascinating airport, Paris-Orly in July, 2010. With its extensive services to Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, Orly makes for fascinating Plane Spotting.
Paris Orly opened to commercial traffic in 1946 as Paris' second major airport after Le Bourget. By 1952, Air France transferred to Orly from Le Bourget. O. It would remain Paris' main airport until Charles de Gaulle Airport's opening at Roissy in 1974. It has flights to cities to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Southeast Asia with largely charter and second tier airlines. Orly remains the busiest French airport for domestic traffic and the second busiest French airport overall in terms of passenger boardings. The two terminals are connected by a light rail system, Orly-Val. Of note, Orly was the first destination for the Caravelle
Orly is divided into 2 terminals separated by The South Terminal is built in a classic glass curtain modernism style which was very current in the late 1950s. Today it still retains much of the same appearance, including the avant-guarde control tower. The Orly-South terminal was opened in 1961 by General Charles de Gaulle. Orly Sud is home to Air Algerie, Air Asia X, Air Berlin, Air Ivory, Air Mali, Corsair, Cubana, Iran Air, Royal Air Moroc, Transavia France, Jets4You, and Tunisair. Orly was home to the first Boeing 747 arrival in France, flown by Pan Am.
Orly's second terminal, Orly West opened in 1971. It feels more cramped and less user friendly in some ways than the original terminal, Orly South. This terminal is served by Air France for principally domestic and African service. Air Inter at one time hubbed here before Air France took it over in 1991. Other airlines at Orly Ouest include Air Europa, Air Corsica, Air Malta, Alitalia, Air One, Iberia, Tap Air Portugal, and Vueling.
The massive Madrid-Barajas Terminal 4 is one of the world's most architectually striking airports and is also one of the world's largest. It Spain's largest and busiest airport, and as of 2008 was the world's 11th busiest airport and Europe's fourth. Airchive visited in July, 2010. It is home to the Madrid-Barcelona route, known as Puente Aereo, which is the busiest route in Europe. Iberia and its LCC subsidiary Vueling are headquartered here with the pair accounting for over 60% of traffic.
Madrid-Barajas opened in 1927, but it was 1957 when the airport came of age with the construction of T2, the National Terminal. These would be expanded to 3 terminals throughout the 1980s and 1990s until Construction on T4 began in 2000. Currently T3 is home to all Sky Team and Star Alliance terminals.
Terminal 4 is one of the world's largest airport terminals in terms of area, (8,180,572 square feet) in separate landside and airside structures. It consists of a main building, T4 and a satellite building, T4S which are approximately 1.5 miles apart separated by light rail. T4, which opened in 2006, is home to Iberia, Vueling, partner British Airways, and all One World Alliance carriers. With the opening of T4 came 2 more runways. In 2008, Conde Nast Traveler Reader Awards named Barajas "Best Airport".
The airport is connected by rail with Madrid's City Center Station.

The National Terminal, currently T2, began construction in 1954, and was inaugurated later that year. T2 airlines inclue Air Berlin, Air Europa, Air France, Air Baltic, Alitalia, Brussels, KLM, LOT Polish, Lufthansa, Scandinavian, and Tap Portugal.


In 1999 the new South Dock opened, which signified an expansion of the international terminal. At this time, the nomenclature of the terminals changed: The south dock and most of the International Terminal were now called T1, the rest of the International Terminal and Domestic Terminal were now called T2 and the north dock was called T3. T1 and T3 are served by non One-World Airlines such as Aeroflot, Aerolineas Argentinas, , Aeromexico, Air Algerie, Air China, Air Europa, Air transat, Continental, Cubana, Delta, EasyJet, Egyptair, Gereman Wings, Iberworld, Korean, Niki, Qatar, Ryan Air, Saudi Arabian, Spaniar, Tam Brazil, Wizz Air, and US Airways.

Barcelona El Prat Airport is Spain's #2 Airport behind Madrid Barajas. El Prat is the main hub for Spanair and Vueling and a focus city for Air Europa and Iberia. It is the #1 airport in the Spanish state of Catalonia. El Prat mainly serves domestic, European and North African destinations, with limited flights to Southeast Asia, Latin America and North America. cheduled commercial service began in 1927 with an Iberia service to Madrid Cuatro Vientos Airport. This was Iberia's first route.

In 1948, a runway was built and in the same year the first overseas service was operated by Pan American World Airways to New York City, using a Lockheed Constellation. In 1963 the airport reached one million passengers a year. A new control tower was built in 1965 and the terminal was rebuilt in 1968, which is part of Terminal 2B. On 3 August 1970, Pan American World Airways began regular service between Barcelona, Lisbon and New York, operated by a Boeing 747. On 4 November of the same year, Iberia began the "Air-shuttle" service between Barcelona and Madrid-Barajas. A few years later, in 1976, a terminal was built specifically for Iberia's air-shuttle service.

From the late seventies to the early nineties the airport was stalled in traffic and investments until the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona. El Prat underwent a major development consisting in the modernization and expansion of the existing terminal (terminal B) and the construction of the other two (A and C terminals) which included jetways for direct access to the aircraft. The new control tower opened in 1996.

The Barcelona-Madrid air shuttle service, known as the "Puente Aéreo" (in Spanish), or "Pont Aeri" (in Catalan) literally "Air Bridge", was the world's busiest route until 2008. The schedule has tapered off when a Madrid-Barcelona high-speed rail line was opened, covering the distance in 2 hours 40 minutes.

The new terminal T1 was inaugurated in June 2009. It has 50 jetways, 168 check-in counters, and is used by most carriers including Adria, Aegean, Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Aerolineas Argentinas, Air Algerie, Air Canada, Air Europa, Air France, Alitalia, American, British Airways, Continental, Croatia, Czech, El Air, Finnaie, Iberia, Iberworld, KLM, Lufthansa, Royal Air Moroco, Royal Jordanian, Singapore, Swiss, Tap Portugal, Tunisair, Turkish, Ukraine, US Airways, and major hub carrier Vueling.

Terminal 2 occupants include Aer Lingus, Air Berlin, Aer Transat, Akria Israel, EasyJet, Jet4You, Jet2, Malev, Nikki, Pakistan, Qatar, Ryanair, Transavia, and Wizz Air.

Vueling serves destinations in Europe and the western Mediterranean. It is also the second largest airline in Spain after Iberia. It is based at Barcelona El Prat. Vueling is owned by Iberia and is its Low cost carrier, even competing with Iberia on numerous routes. Vueling began flying in 2004 and purchased competitor Clickair in 2007. Vueling, though successful, has been often criticized for its flight crew, surly service, and very tight seat pitch. The webmaster experienced this first hand in July, 2010 on a flight between Barcelona El Prat and Paris Orly. Vueling flies soley Airbus A320s.

Iberia has an excellent domestic service with 32" of seat pitch even in economy...a major improvement over the 29" seat pitch of sister LCC carrier Vueling. Iberia is now an all all-Airbus carrier.

American took delivery of their first new Boeing 737, in 1998 as a Dash 800. It had flown used Dash 300s from the 1986 takeover of AirCal. The 737-800s are steadily replacing the MD-80s and are being refitted with new interiors with tighter seat pitch. AA is now one of the world's largest 737-800 operators with Delta.

American operates the Boeing 777s from LAX to Miami, Japan, and Europe. The flagship of the fleet, they began replacing the McDonnell Douglas MD-11s in 1999.

This Boeing 747-400F, B-2460 msn 24348, was delivered to Beijing based Air China in September, 1990 as a passenger airliner. It was converted to a freighter in the mid 2000s. Reportedly even as freighters these elderly 747-400F's are only worth $15-20 Million.

Continental and Northwest/Delta are the only U.S. operators of the stretch Boeing 757-300 which entered service in early 1999. In July 2009, there were 55 Boeing 757-300 aircraft in airline service with Continental Airlines (21), Delta Air Lines (16), Condor Airlines (13), Arkia Israel Airlines (2), Thomas Cook Airlines (2) and Icelandair (1).

This Continental example will be rebranded as United in 2011 as the Continental/United merger takes place. The Boeing 757 was discontinued in 2004, replaced largely by the Boeing 737-900s on the low end. The Dash 300 was not a successful program, but on the high end will be replaced by the Boeing 787-800.

N310NW was a very early Airbus A320-200 delivered originally to Northwest in October, 1990. It is now part of the approximately 120 Airbus A319/320s in the Delta fleet. Some of these older A320s are due for replacement.

N930FR is one of 38 Airbus A319s operated by Frontier. Frontier operats 7 of the larger Airbus A320s as of 2011, and 5 of the smaller Airbus A318s as of 2011. Republic purchased Frontier and Midwest Airlines in 2009 with the Frontier brand surviving. Frontier operates from Terminal 3 at LAX.

Korean operates 10 Boeing 777-300s and 777-300ERs. Korean serves São Paulo-Guarulhos, Seoul-Incheon, and Tokyo-Narita from LAX using 747-400s, 777-200s and 777-300s.

Qantas operates to Sydney, Auckland, Melbourne, and Brisbane from LAX. Airbus A380s have begun to replace the Boeing 747-400s, though following the November, 2010 engine explosion incident of the Airbus A380s, the 747-400s have returned en masse. Qantas flights tend to arrive in the morning and depart in the evening with off-gate storage on the Southwest part of the airfield. Most Qantas flights depart from Tom Bradley, but a few depart from American's Terminal 4. The Longreach badge commemorates the Queensland town where Qantas was founded.

This United Boeing 767-300 is seen in the 1993 livery as late as October, 2010. United introduced its new livery in 2004 so this plane has long been out of the paint shop. The 767-300 will be repainted in the new Continental/United hybrid livery following the 2011-12 merger. United is the top carrier out of LAX.

This site, location of the former American Eagle Terminal and American Maintenance Hanger, will be the almost mile-long concourse of the Tom Bradley International Terminal Midfield Satellite Concourse. It will be connected to the main TBIT airside terminal by a bridge capable of clearing an Airbus A380. It is due to open is 2012. Eventual plans call for a 2nd parallel concourse.

Terminal 3 opened in 1961 and was Trans World Airlines' terminal. For a time, it formerly housed some American flights after acquiring Reno and TWA in 1999 and 2001, respectively, then moved all American flights to Terminal 4 when it was rebuilt in 2001. As of October-2010, AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue , V Australia and Virgin America are the primary tenants of Terminal 3. AirTran will move when the Southwest merger is finalized. Alaska will be moving to Delta's Terminal 5. This terminal is in fairly original condition, including the underground connector which remains in operation.

Terminal 6 has 14 gates accomodating Continental and United. Parts of this terminal have changed little from its opening in 1961, though there originally was an underground connector. In 1979, new gates were expanded from the main building, as is obvious from the rotunda at the end. Continental was headquartered at Los Angeles and this was their main hub until the 1982 move to Houston. United and Delta lease some gates here with both terminals connected to Terminal 6. T6's location next to United's Terminal 7 and 8 is fortuitous as Continental and United merge.

Terminal 7 has 11 gates exclusively dedicated to United, LA's #1 airline by destinations. This terminal opened in 1962. The terminal was renovated between 1997 and 1999 and has the United Red Carpet Club and International First Class Lounge. It is adjacent to Terminal 8 which was built for United Express in 1988 and joined by Shuttle by United. Some Mainline flights operate out of Terminal 8, along with some regional flights.

United's Terminal 7 is adjacent and connected to Continental's Terminal 6 which will be very advantageous when the Continental / United merger is complete.



Denver

Denver International Airport, DIA, is by land size the third largest airport in the world, and the largest in the U.S. It is the 10th busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic with 3 major airlines vying for bragging rights in order of traffic: United (DIA is its 4th largest post-merger hub and was 2nd behind ORD before the merger), Frontier, and Southwest (who only returned in 2005 and is now using DIA as a focus city). In addition, regional Great Lakes Airlines uses DIA as a hub.

DIA opened 18 months late on February 28, 1995 amidst great controversy, delays, and cost over runs ($2 billion over budget) principally due to the now abandoned automatic baggage system. Since finally replacing the congested Stapleton, Its unique architecture, user friendliness, and 6 runways have made it a passenger favorite and operationally efficient airport in the face of the tough weather in the Denver area. DIA is located far east of the city in a sparsely populated area in the Front Plains.

The airport has a midfield configuration similar to Atlanta Hartsfield. Landside operations are located in the Jeppesen Terminal, named after aviation safety pioneer Elrey Jeppesen. The terminal is separated into west and east terminals for passenger drop off and pickup. The airport's iconic white tensile fiberglass roof is aesthetically designed to be reminiscent of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains in winter. The central security and shopping area is bathed in natural light, but ironically the ticketing areas themselves are dark and low ceilinged.

The central area of the airport houses two security screening areas as well as a large fountain and exits from the underground train system. The north side of the Jeppesen Terminal contains a third security screening area and a segregated immigration and customs area.

Passengers are routed first to airline ticket counters or kiosks for checking in. Since all gates at Denver are in the midfied concourses, passengers must pass through any one of the three separate security screening areas for admittance into the secure air side of the airport (one at each end of the main terminal, with escalators down to the trains, plus one at the end of the walkway to Concourse A). After leaving the main terminal via the train or pedestrian bridge so called Lorenzo's Bridge, passengers can access 95 full-service gates on 3 separate concourses (A, B, & C), plus gates for regional flights. There is a new $600 million terminal under construction adjacent to the current Jeppesen Terminal that will house a railway station that will link DIA to downtown Denver and hotel by 2016.

Concourse A has 37 Gates and is used by all international airlines and international arrivals. It is used by British Airways, Aeromexico, Air Canada, and Lufthansa. Denver is one of the busiest airports worldwide with only limited international operations. Frontier, DIA's #2 carrier, American, AirTran, Alaska, and JetBlue operate from here as well. It is connected to the main terminal by a bridge called "Lorenzo's Bridge" which though rarely used as such can accomodate an airplane up to A320 size underneath. It is so named as Continental was a hub carrier at Stapleton and insisted on the close end Concourse A at DIA. Instead CO closed its hub with the move to DIA.

Concourse B has 77 gates and is exclusively used by United and its merger partner, Continental and current Star Alliance member, US Airways. Concourse B is the longest concourse at DIA. Concourse B is connected via train to the other concourses and the Jeppesen landside terminal.

Further afield is Concourse C with 22 gates. Southwest, DIA's #3 carrier, is the main occupant here but Delta and Delta Connection operate from here as well. There are plans available to expand Concourses A & C as well as build new Concourses D & E should traffic require it. Concourse C is connected via train to the other concourses and the Jeppesen landside terminal.

Frontier is the #2 carrier at Denver. It has since been purchased by Republic and merged with Midwestern, gaining hub/focus cities at Milwaukee and Kansas City. Airbus A319s comprise the bulk of the fleet with a few A320s and A318s operating as well. Frontier has an excellent inflight service with quality food to order, leather seats, GoGo internet, DirecTV, and the famous chocolate cookie inherited from Midwest on all of its aircraft. It began operations with 3 Boeing 737-200s in 1994.

Lufthansa and British Airways are the only 2 European airlines operating at DIA. Lufthansa operates a daily service to Frankfurt which connects with fellow Star Alliance member, United's massive Denver hub. All international flights arrive and most depart at Concourse A.

Frontier has an excellent inflight service with quality food to order, leather seats, GoGo internet, DirecTV, and the famous chocolate cookie inherited from Midwest on all of its aircraft. It began operations with 3 Boeing 737-200s in 1994. It is well known for the animal that adorn the tails of its aircraft.

Alaska's Boeing 737-400s, despite their age, have been mostly upgraded with GoGo inflight internet and quite comfortable leather seats with 32" pitch in economy and 36-37" in first.

Alaska's Boeing 737-800s have been upgraded with GoGo inflight internet and quite comfortable leather seats with 32" pitch in economy and 36-37" in first. Alaska operates 700s, 800s, 900s, and 900ERs. The 800s are used on the long-haul Hawaii routes as well as the flight this was taken on Miami-Seattle which is the longest domestic flight in the Continental United States.

Alaska also offers their "home grown" digEplayers complimentary in first class and for rent in economy. Alaska Airlines is recognized by the World Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA) as having an "historic first" in Inflight entertainment by introducing in October 2003 the first portable, hard-drive based, audio-video-on-demand (AVOD) players that deliver a variety of film, TV, games, information, and audio programs. It was conceived and brought to market by an Alaska Airlines baggage handler named Bill Boyer Jr.
