County Seeks Ideas for New Terminals

DETROIT - Northwest $1.2 billion Midfield Terminal project will open enough space to renovate other terminals.

By Robert Carr | Updated on August 03, 2000

Wayne County is reaching out to its airport customers before taking on the task of selecting a renovation design for the existing terminals at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). The existing terminal complex, which includes the Davey, Smith, and Berry terminals, was built between the 1950s and 1970s. Since then, the number of passengers who have traveled through Metro has increased by more than 500%.

In 2001, Detroit Metro’s hub carrier Northwest Airlines, which currently occupies the Davey and Berry terminals, will move its operations into the new Midfield Terminal, now half completed. When that happens, more space in the existing facility will be available for many of Metro’s other airlines. Currently in its planning stage, the redevelopment of the existing terminal is being offered up to the public.

An Idea Center, located near the entrances to concourses A and B, has now opened; and customers are providing airport management with their opinions on what they would like to see in a renovated facility. The Idea Center features a four-minute continuous loop video that describes construction of the new 99-gate midfield terminal, new access road and the sixth runway at DTW. It also touches on several possible renovation concepts for the terminals, once Northwest Airlines and its partners move into the new midfield terminal 17 months from now.
