Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and project partners Findorff and Alliance recently kicked off the Concourse E Redevelopment Project.

The $95 million project will reimagine Concourse E and increase MKE’s capacity for both international and domestic air travel.

The project is funded entirely through airport revenue, bonding and federal support, including $13.5 million in federal funding. The redevelopment will create hundreds of construction jobs in the Milwaukee community and support opportunities for additional airline service.

When complete, the redeveloped concourse will replace the existing International Arrivals Terminal, which is not connected to the main terminal. The new structure will have two jet bridges capable of processing up to 400 arriving international passengers per hour, nearly triple the current capacity of 140.
