Concourse A Rehabilitation Project
Complete: A Fully Modernized Concoruse A
Albany International Airport's oldest concourse has been transformed with modern gates, enhanced accessibility, upgraded passenger amenities, and a more comfortable travel experience.
A NEW ERA FOR CONCOURSE A
Originally opened in 1979, Concourse A has welcomed millions of travelers over the past four decades. The completion of this comprehensive rehabilitation marks the most significant investment in the concourse since it first opened, transforming one of Albany International Airport's busiest areas into a modern, comfortable, and accessible space for today's travelers.
The $13.36 million project modernized all six gates with upgraded infrastructure, new passenger seating, improved lighting and finishes, enhanced accessibility, and two state-of-the-art passenger boarding bridges at Gates A1 and A2. Construction was carefully phased to allow Concourse A to remain open and operational throughout the project, minimizing disruptions for travelers and airline partners.
The project was made possible through a $10.6 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with additional support from the Albany County Airport Authority. Together, these investments ensure Concourse A is well positioned to serve the Capital Region for decades to come.
