Airport Projects

Phase I: completed 2003: Included a 4,300 square-foot ticket counter expansion and a new and updated exterior appearance for the facility that tied all architectural elements together. In addition, the TSA baggage check was moved behind the ticket counter, streamlining the check-in process for departing passengers.
Phase II: completed 2007: Included doubling the terminal size by adding 23,000+ square feet; creating a spacious ticket lobby with additional counter positions; additional food & beverage options for travelers, including a vendor in the gate area; doubling size of restroom facilities; a new, fully functional, curbside check-in facility; plus an expanded gate area with increased seating.
Planned for 2009: Steamboat/Hayden Airport will be the first mountain community to utilize a new cutting-edge electronic air traffic control tracking system in 2009.
Phase III: expected 2010: Improvements include expanded and remodeled passenger arrival and baggage claim areas, including a second bag claim carousel.
Beyond 2010: Scheduled improvements will target expanded apron improvements along with future terminal and general aviation expansion.
