What’s new at Fresno airport?

Fresno Yosemite International Airport is adding flight options for travelers as work continues on a major expansion of its terminal.

As part of the $150 million FATforward project, the Fresno airport is adding a second upper-level passenger concourse with more gates for both domestic and international flights, upgraded baggage inspection technology anda larger arrival and customs inspection area for international arrivals.

In April, the airport unveiled an expanded security checkpoint and new artwork.

“Passengers traveling through Fresno Yosemite International Airport will now experience improved security queuing within a 13,000-square feet-facility,” Vikkie Calderon, the airport’s public information officer, said in an April 23 news release.

The new security checkpoint layout aims to improve the “efficiency of passenger screening with more capacity and capability to operate five passenger screening lanes simultaneously,” Calderon said, adding 8,000 square feet and shifting passenger queuing from the lobby.

The terminal expansion also comes with a new dining option for travelers.

Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant in Fresno will open a second location at a 2,000-square-foot space in the shops and dining area of the Fresno airport’s new concourse, The Fresno Bee previously reported.
