A local reporter interviewed the airport director about when construction on Concourse C can be expected to start. The answer, not until after the 2034 Winter Olympics -- obviously don't want to start something that would make the airport look unsightly for all the visitors.

While Concourse B is nearing completion, slated for the fall of 2026, airport officials are monitoring the metrics that would trigger the construction of Concourse C, as airport construction is never truly over. But don’t expect a new building anytime soon.

Construction of a third concourse would be “complicated” because there’s a massive hangar and major underground utilities currently in the way of where it will be built, Wyatt says. Those will have to be relocated to other areas.

With so much energy now focused on preparing for the 2034 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, he isn’t sure whether taking on that task will happen until after the Games wrap up. That’s why he now expects that construction of a third concourse might start later in the 2030s.
