Sacramento’s Big Build Will Create a Monstrously Expensive New Terminal

Brett Snyder at the excellent The Cranky Flier blog has posted this observation on the new terminal construction at Sacramento Airport in California.

It makes an interesting read and has some nice pictures of the plans for the building, the work that’s been carried out so far, and the existing (outdated) terminal buildings.

Thanks for sharing the interesting article at Cranky Flier. I agree with Mr. Snyder about the extravagance of the Sacramento airport project and that current trends do not point to an increase in passenger volume in the next few years. I had the distinct impression, however, that he was advocating on behalf of airlines. I don’t believe these people need anymore advocates on this issue – terminal costs are but a minuscule fraction of total operating costs of airlines.
