DL already relocated to T5 last week.
10 new gates were added to T5, and expansion/renovation largely done.
Yes, 2 satellite terminals are being added beyond T1 B/C, and T2 will be demolished for the Global Terminal, allegedly will be the largest terminal in USA. 45-50 net gate increase in T1/GT in addition to the 10 in T5.
