Terminal 3 broke ground south of the existing terminals as the centrepiece of Pudong's phase-IV expansion, designed for 50 million passenger trips a year. When the programme is finished the airport will have three terminals, one satellite terminal and four runways, with terminal floor space above 1.7 million square metres.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong officiated the groundbreaking of Terminal 5 on the Changi East site, launching the airport's largest expansion. PM Wong said T5 will be as big in land area as all of Changi's current terminals combined and will expand the airport's capacity by more than 50 per cent, serving about 50 million more passengers a year.

The rebuild of the north end of SEA's main terminal added the airport's first at-scale automated bag drops, a redesigned Checkpoint 6, a new Bridge Level check-in, upgraded baggage claim devices and eight major public art installations. The Port of Seattle and Alaska Airlines marked the finish of major construction, the first of a run of Upgrade SEA projects due to complete before the summer's international soccer tournament.

The new North Concourse at George Bush Intercontinental replaces the 1969-era flight stations with about 765,000 square feet on three levels, 22 gates for United and a 54,000-square-foot United Club, the largest in the airline's network. It is the centrepiece of the $2.5 billion Terminal B Transformation, which closed the old Terminal B lobby in January 2025.

Turner broke ground on 5 September 2024 on the $2.6 billion modernization of SFO's Terminal 3: a 200,000-square-foot expansion, 650,000 square feet of renovation and a new six-story building holding airline lounges and operational offices. The eastern addition follows in 2029.

Phase one of DFW's sixth terminal opens with 15 gates, two and a half years after construction began in November 2024 and on a frame built from six prefabricated modules rolled into place by August 2025. DFW and American Airlines have since scaled the programme up to an eventual 31 gates at about $4 billion, with the rest of the terminal following by 2031.

The Port of Seattle's S Concourse Evolution project adds 150,000 square feet to the 1973 satellite concourse that handles most of SEA's international flights, including a new upper concourse level and dual-level boarding at selected gates, reusing customs space freed when the International Arrivals Facility opened in 2022. All phases are estimated to finish by 2034.

Aena is doubling the boarding and arrivals area to 105,000 square metres and replacing the airport's 12 airbridges with 19, so that 70 per cent of boardings are direct to the aircraft. A new 215,000-square-metre apron takes commercial aircraft stands from 30 to 37 and lifts capacity to 29.5 million passengers a year; work began in 2024.

The first of two satellite concourses west of O'Hare's terminal core, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with Norviska and designated Concourse D, is reached by an underground tunnel from the terminals. Vertical construction started in April 2026; the $1.3 billion project, which includes about $300 million of infrastructure work, is scheduled for completion in late 2028 and is the first piece of the O'Hare 21 rebuild to be delivered, a programme approved in 2018 at $8.5 billion and now put at roughly $12 billion in current dollars.

The second phase of San Diego International Airport's $3.8 billion Terminal 1 replacement adds the last 11 gates, two lounges, nine restaurants and three shops. Phase 1 opened with 19 gates in 2025 and phase 2 went to work that October.

MIA is building a three-level Concourse K with six domestic gates, new baggage handling, a ground support equipment maintenance facility and airfield work, the first new concourse of its $9 billion modernisation programme. Construction broke ground in mid-2025.

Atlanta is rebuilding Concourse D in place, floating 19 prefabricated steel modules into position overnight to make the 1980s concourse about 60 percent wider and able to take larger aircraft while it keeps operating. Phase two began in January 2025 with the sixth module.

The airport's second concourse is a standalone midfield building south of the Barbara Jordan Terminal, reached by an underground walkway with moving walkways, and carries a new integrated baggage system. It is meant to open alongside the $865 million Arrivals and Departures Hall under the Journey With AUS programme.
