TERMINAL C TO REOPEN(May 23) Harrison City Airport's Terminal C will reopen to the public on June 1 following a two-year renovation project. The project added eleven new gates, allowing the terminal to accommodate more flights. The three major airlines that used Terminal C before the renovation will
now be back in operation there. Also at Terminal C will be newcomer Paik Airways, a regional carrier that is expanding its routes. The terminal's new lobby features
an efficient check-in process and a stateofthe-art baggage-handling system. Passengers will enjoy free Wi-Fi in the
waiting area, which also contains shops and restaurants. At one point during the renovations, it looked as if the construction team would miss its deadline. An environmental impact review conducted by the city questioned the placement of a parking lot. The planners solved the problem by moving the parking lot to the
other side of the airport and instituting a shuttle bus service. “Thanks to the cooperative efforts of all stakeholders, the project was completed by the deadline
with no budget overage," said Arturo Benetti, the airport's chief operating officer. “The improvements to Terminal C
will enable us to continue providing Harrison City with safe, comfortable air travel."
