McCarthy Building Companies Inc. was recently named the general contractor for the addition of the eighth and final concourse at Terminal 4 in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, a project valued at approximately $310 million.
During peak periods, existing gates at Terminal 4 are all currently occupied, diminishing customer service activity. The eighth concourse will add eight new gates to Terminal 4 for use by Southwest Airlines and will provide additional, new facilities to serve air travelers and support long-term airline activity. This new concourse will be located at the southwest corner of the terminal adjacent to the low D concourse.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport served nearly 44 million passengers in 2017. Terminal 4 is the largest terminal at the airport and handles more than 80 percent of passenger traffic at the airport through 86 gates. The major tenants currently occupying Terminal 4 are Southwest Airlines and American Airlines.
