Phoenix Sky Harbor received Federal approval to proceed with an airport enhancement program to help keep pace with demand. Ultimately all projects will need to be approved by the Phoenix City Council. Some of the key projects in the newly approved program include Terminal 2 demolition and replacement with a new, 33-gate west Terminal, a second stage automated people mover, re-alignment of Sky Harbor Boulevard, and improvements to the Terminal 4 international concourse. The first stage of the people mover has already been previously approved, which will carry passengers from the east economy garage and to Terminals 4 and 3. This new approval allows for connection to the Phoenix light rail and a continuation from Terminal 3 to the new West Terminal and the rental car center. Sky Harbor Boulevard will be modified on the west side of the airport to provide access to the new West Terminal and improve overall traffic flow at the airport. The new West Terminal will accommodate most international flights while modifications will be made to the Terminal 4 international concourse to improve efficiency.
