ABIA's South Terminal is trying to wriggle out of an expected eminent domain war with the city by floating a short-term solution to the airport's infrastructure crunch: Move the South Terminal farther south and vacate the property the airport wants razed.
An Allegiant airplane parks at ABIA's South Terminal. Lonestar Airport Holdings, the company operating the privately run terminal, is pitching an expansion plan to increase capacity for ultra-low-cost carriers while avoiding the risk of having the terminal seized through eminent domain.
Now the South Terminal's operator, Lonestar Airport Holdings, is trying to wriggle out of an expected eminent domain war with the city by floating a short-term solution to the airport's infrastructure crunch: Move the South Terminal farther south and vacate the property the airport wants razed. "It would allow ultra-low-cost carriers Allegiant, Frontier, Spirit and others to continue to expand in the Austin market," Pearse said."Capacity constraints are a real concern. We think we have a solution."The South Terminal opened in 2017. The three-gate facility serves between 20,000 and 30,000 passengers monthly. The Barbara Jordan Terminal has 34 gates and served 1.2 million passengers in February alone.
Within months of being hired, Yaft urged City Council to try and buy back the South Terminal lease for $10 million. "The Department of Aviation continues to progress with airport improvements through the Airport Expansion and Development Program," the statement reads."The Department of Aviation will continue to work with business stakeholders and tenants throughout the duration of this program and looks forward to delivering an improved passenger experience to all AUS customers."
