FUTURE OF CVG

The Airport Board has approved plans to revitalize and reactivate Concourse A by summer 2012 (see rendering above). Carriers that currently operate in Terminal 2 — Air Canada, American, Continental, US Airways and United Airlines — will move to the gates in Concourse A once renovations are completed. Ticketing, baggage and security for Concourse A passengers will be available in Terminal 3. Delta will continue to operate out of Terminal 3 and the gates in Concourse B.
