Key Priorities
- Efficient: Boost efficiency by expanding ticketing counters, enlarging the security checkpoint, and reconfiguring the baggage handling system
- Modern: Modernize facilities through thoughtful design that creates a fresh and welcoming environment

Elevate CVG Projects
Welcome Point
One of the first projects is to reconfigure the Welcome Point and install new exit lane technology on the lower level of the Terminal. Construction consists of two phases, which started in August 2023 and is expected to be finished in spring 2024.
Baggage System
Another part of this modernization program involves the design and installation of a new baggage handling system. The new system will enhance operational efficiency and bag processing times. Design of this critical system is expected to occur in 2024 with construction taking place over several phases for three years.
