At a ceremony this week, Phoenix city public officials joined Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) leaders in hailing the late U.S. Senator John McCain with a plaque commemorating the opening of the John S. McCain III Terminal 3 during the celebration of the completion of a $590 million terminal renovation.
The final stage of the modernization will be complete February 3 when the newly renovated Terminal 3 north concourse formally opens. The concourse features 10 airline gates and all new shops, restaurants and customer amenities, such as an animal relief area, a nursing room, a family restroom, hearing loop connectivity in the gate areas, and access to power from every seat.
Among the new dining options are airport locations for local favorites Ajo Al’s, Scramble and The Phoenix Beer Company. New retailers include Discover Arizona with Tech-on-the-Go/House of Marley and Stellar News + Market with Starbucks.
“The new concourse will be home to local restaurants, stunning art, a nursing room, and increased energy efficiency standards,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said during the plaque ceremony. “This is another important investment in our state’s number one economic driver.”
The north concourse will begin formally welcoming new flights next week. With the completion of the Terminal 3 Modernization Program, PHX Terminal 2 will close.
