Nothing has been announced since the original construction schedule was published in January.

They didn't specify where the current T5 airlines would move other than "three other locations". In addition to MSC South (which is supposed to be done by Q4 2025) I would guess another one is MSC North, but that's just a guess. No idea where the third one is. I guess it could be TBIT given that international flights remain subdued. Worst case for AA would be moving some mainline operations to Nest/Nest Area. No basis for that other than speculation.

FWIW, the T5 rennovation will not change the # or type of gates, so it looks like the Nest will not be moving to T5 anytime soon.
