[1] Runway 8L-26R Construction
The arrival and departure capacity of the airfield must exceed demand to avoid costly delays. To increase the arrival capacity of the airfield, a new parallel runway will be constructed north of the existing runway. Several alternative runway locations are being evaluated to ensure that the maximum benefit is realized.
| Project(s): |
522 New Runway 8L-26R |
| Planned Completion: |
March, 2003 |
[2] South Taxiway Bridge and Apron Expansion
The efficiency of aircraft taxiing operations on the south side of the terminal complex will be dramatically enhanced by extending the Terminal A/B south apron to provide an additional east-west taxi lane and constructing a crossover taxiway bridge between the Terminal A/B south apron and the Terminal C apron.
| Project(s): |
558 Taxiway SD Bridge |
| Planned Completion: |
March, 2004 |
[3] Runway 15R-33L Upgrade & Bypass Taxiway
Departure capacity will be increased by widening and lengthening existing Runway 15R-33L. In addition, a parallel taxiway will be constructed between the runways with high speed exits from the runway. Access to Runways 15L and 15R will also be improved, increasing the efficiency of aircraft operations and reducing airfield congestion.
| Project(s): |
556 R/W 15R-33L Extension |
| Planned Completion: |
September, 2002 |
[4] Air Cargo Development
New, state-of-the-art air cargo facilities will be constr class="codeBlock_TD"ucted to accommodate the increasing demand for air cargo transportation. Phase 1 of the development includes ramp space for parking up to 20 wide body aircraft, and will provide more than 550,000 square feet of cargo building space. Cargo aircraft will have direct access to Runway 8-26 the future Runway 8L-26R, and - once the midfield taxiway is constructed - to Runway 9-27. The site also offers excellent ground access from Humble-Westfield Road and Will Clayton Boulevard.
| Project(s): |
560 Cargo Infrastructure |
| Planned Completion: |
March, 2002 |
[5] Consolidated Rental Car Facility
Visitors to the City of Houston who rent automobiles will pick up and drop off their cars at a new Consolidated Rental Car Facility. All customers will be transported between the terminals and the rental facility via a common busing system, eliminating the need for individual rental agency shuttles. This new system will reduce terminal curbside congestion and simplify the car rental process.
| Project(s): |
444 Consolidated Rental Car Facility |
| Planned Completion: |
September, 2002 |
[6] Midfield Taxiway
The ability to taxi aircraft between the terminal complex and the east-west runways will be enhanced with the constr construction of a new midfield taxiway. The new taxiway will bridge over Will Clayton Boulevard and parallel to taxiway SF.
