San Diego Airport's New Terminal 1 Opens With 19 Gates

The first phase of San Diego International Airport's $3.8 billion New Terminal 1 opened with 19 gates, a 13-lane security checkpoint and 17 restaurants and shops, replacing the 58-year-old Terminal 1. Southwest Flight 2866 from Honolulu was its first arrival the night before.

The Airport Authority marked the official opening of the first phase of the new Terminal 1 with a ribbon cutting on 23 September 2025; the night before, Southwest Flight 2866 from Honolulu became the first arrival at the New T1^[1]
The New T1 replaces the 58-year-old Terminal 1, which opened in 1967 for 2.5 million passengers a year; the airport handled just under 10 million in 2024, and the new building is just under 1 million square feet, almost triple the old one^[3]
It was delivered by the Turner-Flatiron joint venture with Gensler as lead architect^[1]; the builders describe a progressive design-build project that began in November 2021^[2]
Construction on Phase 1B begins in early 2026: three more gates open in spring 2026 and the remaining eight in early 2028, for 30 gates in all^[1]
The airport calls New T1 a $3.8 billion project expected to generate more than $4.5 billion for the San Diego economy and 25,300 jobs paying $2 billion in wages^[1]; KPBS reports it is funded through a 10-year operating and lease agreement with the airlines^[3]
Demolition of the old Terminal 1 was scheduled to start around the last week of September 2025^[3]

Notable features

19 gates, 69 check-in kiosks, 66 ticket counters, a 13-lane security checkpoint and seven baggage carousels handling 4,000 bags per hour^[1]
More than 90,000 square feet of concessions: 12 food and beverage outlets and five specialty stores, plus an outdoor dining area with views of San Diego Bay and downtown^[1]
A "Luminous Wave" facade by artist James Carpenter of more than 537 curved, fritted glass panels, and five commissioned public artworks^[1]
More than four miles of new roadways with a dual-level arrivals/departures road, and a five-story parking plaza with 5,200 spaces and more than 250 EV chargers^[1]
Runs on 100 percent carbon-free electricity, with a 900,000-gallon stormwater cistern and an underground fuel-delivery system, and is pursuing LEED Gold^[1]
