The first phase of Eppley Airfield’s temporary terminal split begins today – Monday, January 5th – with the closure of the central portion of level 1. During this phase, travelers will still be able to walk between the south terminal and north terminal using level 2. Travelers can expect updated wayfinding to help them navigate the closed areas.
Eppley’s terminal will be split into two separate terminals, enabling construction on major parts of the project, including the central pavilion, where the future centralized security checkpoint and terminal concessions will be located.
Beginning February 17th, the entire central portion of the terminal, including level 2, will be closed for construction. Until the new central pavilion opens in 2027, the airport will operate with two, separated terminals. During this time, travelers who need to navigate between the terminals will use the outdoor terminal drive walkways and lower level of the south garage.
As Eppley Airfield enters this new phase of construction, travelers are encouraged to use the “Find Your Way at OMA” options below to assist in navigating the airport:
• Passenger Assistance: Staff is available throughout the terminal to answer questions and guide
travelers to their destination.
• Enhanced Wayfinding Signage: Strategically placed signs and graphics will help travelers
navigate the new terminal layout.
• Online Updates: BuildOMA.com and FlyOMA.com will provide the most up-to-date information on the airport, including construction updates.
“We appreciate the patience of our travelers and the community as work continues to build a better travel experience,” said Dave Roth, Chief Executive Officer for the Omaha Airport Authority. “The transformation taking place at Eppley Airfield will make it the best airport in the Midwest.”
