Airport Master Plan
In an effort to maximize the use of San Diego International Airport, the Airport
Authority developed the Airport Master Plan. In 2005, the Authority Board
selected the build-out of Terminal 2 West as the preferred alternative. With the
environmental review process already under way, construction of 10 additional
gates, airfield improvements, structured parking and more efficient airport
roadways is expected to begin in 2009.
An airport master plan represents the approved actions to be accomplished for
phased development of the airport. Master plans address the airfield, terminal,
landside access improvements, modernization, and expansion of existing airports
and establish the premise for planning for a new airport.

The Green Build: Moving Forward, Soaring Higher
The Green Build is a series of construction
projects taking place through the year 2012 at the west end of San Diego
International Airport. The projects will help the airport meet current and
future demand by enhancing passenger and aircraft flow, terminal amenities,
roadways and the airfield. Projects include:
- a 10-gate build-out of Terminal 2 West
- an elevated dual-level roadway with convenient curbside check-in kiosks
- expanded shopping and dining areas
- airfield improvements to enhance the efficiency of aircraft movements
The “Green” in The Green Build stands for environmentally friendly aspects being
integrated throughout the projects, as well as for the significant economic
benefits – including over 1,000 construction jobs during peak construction –
these projects will bring to the region.
