The UA move is permanent according to staff at MKE.

C is a real mess right now and the security is smaller than D. It does look like it will be really nice when completed, though.

Also, USA3000 is back in seasonal service after being gone for the summer.

I flew out of C on AA today, and the renovations are almost compete. The last four gates are still under construction. The hammerhead show in the plans here: doesn't seem as if it's going to be built; at least for now.

I saw and Allegiant Air plane parked at MKE for the first time ever!

Qunizo's has opened on C ^

Check out a neat thread on the on going expansion and renovation of C, D & E here: http://www.airliners.net/discussions....main/2638912/

Connecting C, D and E (beyond security)
 

I know this is a pipe dream, but wouldn't it be nice for a passenger walkway to be constructed BEYOND security to connect the C, D and E terminals? It could allow for pax flying AA or DL or UA to use the YX and NW lounges, not to mention more vendor choices, etc. It might also make MKE more attractive as a focus city for connecting flights. :)

Just an update on the C hammerhead - someone on that Airliners.net post states that construction has just begun on the hammerhead today. Apparently they know someone in the airport. Take that for what it's worth.

FWIW, I have found that particular poster's comments and info to be generally accurate and trustworthy. (Not always the norm over at a.net) So it wouldn't surprise me if the hammerhead is indeed underway.

I'm landing on C later this afternoon, so I'll walk down and see if I can spot anything.

Was on AA flight 5555 arriving in MKE last night around 11pm. As we taxied around C it was quite clear the construction on the hammerhead had begun. An area roughly the shape and size of the proposed addition is fenced off, topped with orange construction lights and a job site trailer is parked out there as well. Inside the concourse the area leading to the last two gates is still blocked off.

I have to say I really like the improvements they have made to C. I can't believe it's the same terminal! The lighting is awesome, and the floor is unique and fun! I hope they can incorporate some of the design in to D and E

I fully agree with you on the improvements to C, but for them to spend millions to improve everything and then put all of the old seating back in (rips, tears and an overall 1970's appearance) makes no sense. Also, still no WIFI in C.

Speaking of Renaissance Books, while flying out to EWR today I noticed that at long last the renovations to Renaissance Books is complete, the temporary drywall is down and they have a beautiful new facade - mostly clear glass. Also while sitting in the Best Care Club, I can see that the hammerhead expansion of C is in full swing, the concrete is being tore up as I watch.

The first new gate that is part of the "D" terminal renovations has opened: D24 is now back in service with new carpet, new seating, and new windows. It's nice, clean and bright, but lacks the style or uniqueness that the new renovations to "C" has.

The lower walkway to the hammerhead of "D" is still closed being renovated for the new Skyway gates there.

Is D24 the gate formerly known as D30?

EDIT: Looking at the latest MKE terminal map, 24 is planned to be one of the hammerhead gates on C. I'm guessing you meant to say D34, so I'll be quiet now =)

I could have been 34. I'm back on YX next week and I'll check.

It was D34 that opened; Good catch mezzou.

Additionally, work as begun on the E concourse (NW, CO & Airtran). No gates are closed, but temp drywall is up and some of the bathrooms are blocked.

The renovation/consolidation of the E restrooms are long overdue. I can honestly say that the condition of the restrooms in 'E' was a significant contributing factor in my decision to re-up my WC membership.
