current expansion work is, with the exception of the IAF, either Central Terminal improvements that don't add gates or added space in D and N (the AS end of the airport). I suspect there will be some shuffling of non-DL non-AS flights as AS moves into the new N that might free up some gates in A/B, but it won't help that much. I'm hoping that late 2020 will see some improvements with the new IAF opening.
