Det har tatt sin tid , den var under bygging i august 2019.

Selve broen har vaert ferdig lenge, men prosjektet bestaar jo av mye mere, en helt ny ankomst hall med Immigrasjon, Bagasje anlegg og Toll kontroll er bygget som en meget stor utvidelse av A - piren.

Det er ogsaa aapnet for Internasjonale ankomster i mange A - pir gater som i foerste omgang vil hjelpe United (slipper aa taue fly).

The Port of Seattle today welcomed the first passenger flight to use the new International Arrivals Facility (IAF) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) with the arrival of Delta Air Lines flight 196 from Seoul-Incheon. The flight kicks off the final readiness testing phase of the project. Between now and May 10, the airport will bring a limited number of flights through the new facility to complete orientation and activation.

The first inbound flight taxied underneath the dramatic aerial walkway of the new IAF and was greeted with a water turret salute as it reached its gate. The first set of limited flights arrives on the A Concourse dual gate system, which directs passengers to a secure corridor leading into the new IAF for processing by Customs and Border Protection.

The gleaming new International Arrivals Facility at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which opened last year at a cost of about $1 billion, was supposed to fit 20 big, widebody aircraft simultaneously.

But according to the Port of Seattle, that many long-haul aircraft won’t fit side by side because of flaws in the design.

The Port, which operates the airport, says the facility can currently take only 16 large aircraft at a time.

In a letter sent in August to Clark Construction, which built the new facility, the Port said the 20% shortfall in capacity could cause “damages to the Port’s operations in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars over the expected life of this project.”

The letter states this leaves Sea-Tac “with an international-flight capacity problem that this project was originally intended to solve.”

The Port is redesigning the layout of various gates to allow some bigger planes to fit and to try to resolve the capacity issues. It estimates the reconfiguration will cost an additional $78 million.
