DULLES, Va. () — The Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is counting down to the big reveal of its new 435,000 square-foot concourse. In anticipation of the new addition, officials showed renderings of the new facility, Concourse E.
The state-of-the-art establishment will give passengers direct access from the airport's AeroTrain system, provide an enhanced customer experience and increase IAD's capacity for domestic and international flights.

Concourse E will feature over 46,000 square feet of new shopping opportunities, dining and other amenities. The new facility will come with 14 new gates, jetbridges at every gate, comfortable seating and direct access to the AeroTrain.
To top it all off, there will also be a new 40,000 square foot United Airlines club lounge and space on the upper level.
Officials said the new concourse fits the vision of the Dulles Airport Master Plan, which is designed to ensure that the airport evolves around continued growth.
IAD noted that its record-setting passenger growth is outpacing the current terminal gate capacity, especially for United Airlines.
The airport said that existing United Airlines gates A, C and D are fully utilized several times each day, leaving waiting areas and concession locations full. As a result, the United's waiting areas need more room to connect flyers.
Construction for Concourse E is expected to be completed by 2026.
