) - The Mobile Airport Authority held its monthly board meeting today as work continues on a new passenger terminal at Mobile International Airport near downtown.
Construction started earlier this year on the nearly $400 million project, which will include a parking garage as well as a passenger terminal with five gates, including oner for international travel. Officials say the new airport will be valuable to the city as a low-cost terminal. They also say that the current airport is expandable, if needed.
“This project is going to be transformational for the city of Mobile. We deserve it. Our constituents, people live here need to be able to go somewhere without going somewhere else first, need to be able to do so at an affordable ticket price,” said MAA Chairman Elliot Maisel. “We need to be able to go to more cities that our current airlines serves just so we can change planes and go where we’re going.
