SEATTLE TACOMA AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Seattle Tacoma Airport

After the U.S. military took control of Boeing Field during World War II, the Port of Seattle constructed the airport.The Port received $1 million from the Civil Aeronautics Administration to build the airport and $100,000 from the City of Tacoma. The first scheduled airline flights were Northwest and Trans-Canada in 1947; Western and United moved from Boeing Field in the next couple of years, and Pan Am moved in 1952–53, but West Coast and successors Air West and Hughes Airwest stayed at Boeing Field until 1971.

Herman A. Moldenhour, an architect, was responsible for the original terminal.The official opening ceremony took place on July 9, 1947, in front of a crowd of 30,000. In June 1951, four runways were at 45-degree angles, between 5,000 and 6,100 feet (1,500 and 1,900 m) long; the northeast–southwest and northwest–southeast runways intersected just west of the north–south runway that eventually became today's runway 34R. Runway 34 was lengthened to 7500 feet in 1951, to 8500 feet by 1958, and to 11900 feet by 1962. The extension required the construction of an automobile tunnel for South 188th Street, which opened in July 1961. Runway 34L replaced runway 2 around 1970.

Futures of Seattle Tacoma International Airport

SEA Airport has seen record growth in passenger traffic over the last few years. Alaska Airlines, based in Seattle, has expanded across the country, and Delta Air Lines established a significant international hub at SEA Airport, both of which have contributed to that growth. That growth has strained the airport's facilities and led the port to invest more than $2 billion in several expansion and renovation projects. SEA Airport has six outbound baggage handling systems with limited to no cross-connectivity. The system now in place and reaching its maximum capacity.

The system now in place is ageing and reaching its maximum capacity. This $320.4 million project will create one unified, high-speed baggage system under the airport.

hat will allow bags to be checked at any ticket counter, to receive security screening faster, and to be routed to any gate in the airport. The extra efficiency and speed will allow the airport to handle more baggage in the future without expanding the footprint of the baggage handling systems. The initial phase of the project was finished in 2018, and the entire system will be in place by 2023.

Facilities of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

SEA has 103 gates in four concourses and two satellite buildings. A three-line automated people mover system called the SEA Underground connects the two satellite terminal buildings, known as the North and South Satellites, to the four concourses in the main terminal.

The underground transit system moves passengers within the four concourses of the central terminal and out to the two satellite terminals. All non-precleared international arrivals arrive at the South Satellite, or Concourse A, regardless of their departure terminal.
