ECP Breaks Ground On New Terminal

North­west Flori­da Beach­es Inter­na­tion­al Air­port (ECP) has broken ground on a new 80,000-square-foot terminal. The new North Ter­mi­nal, part of a three-phase expansion project, will feature six new gates; six baggage offices and four baggage claim carousels; new concessions; restrooms; and passenger seating.

“Our pri­or­i­ty at ECP has always been deliv­er­ing an excep­tion­al trav­el expe­ri­ence to every pas­sen­ger,” said ECP board chair Mark Shel­don. ​“This expan­sion is essen­tial to main­tain­ing that com­mit­ment as we con­tin­ue to grow. It will pro­vide the capac­i­ty and ameni­ties our pas­sen­gers deserve while posi­tion­ing us to wel­come new air­lines and destinations.” 

“This project rep­re­sents ECP’s remark­able tra­jec­to­ry over the past 15 years,” added Shel­don. ​“What began as a facil­i­ty serv­ing just over 300,000 pas­sen­gers annu­al­ly has grown into a region­al eco­nom­ic engine serv­ing near­ly two mil­lion trav­el­ers. Today’s ground­break­ing ensures we can con­tin­ue meet­ing demand while enhanc­ing our role as a vital eco­nom­ic gen­er­a­tor for North­west Florida.”
