Nearly\n30-foot-tall glass windows spanning the north side of the building, with\nadditional clerestory windows on the south side, will flood the space with\nnatural lighting and gives a sense of transparency while enhancing the\npassenger experience including glass passenger boarding bridges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the existing landside terminal building will\nbe renovated and improved to accommodate an expanded TSA security checkpoint\nwith 4 lanes and added support spaces. A new extended passenger bridge located\npost security will connect the existing landside terminal building with the new\nConcourse A. It will also provide passengers with direct access to the\nlower-level baggage claim area. At the existing ground level Concourse, a\nplanned baggage-claim expansion will provide efficiency to support the\nincreased baggage operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Wednesday was an exciting day in Key West.&nbsp; After completing 100% design in just over 10 months, with an early construction package to market in 6 months, McFarland Johnson (MJ) joined community leaders and project team members for the ground-breaking of Key West International Airports New Concourse A and Terminal Improvements program.&nbsp; MJ provided [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23896,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-florida"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/McFarland-Key-West-2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23895"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23898,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23895\/revisions\/23898"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
