President Donald Trump has unveiled a sweeping $22.5 billion plan to transform Washington Dulles International Airport, replacing its aging concourses, expanding the AeroTrain, moving parking closer to the terminal, and eliminating the airport’s famous mobile lounges.

Trump Unveils $22.5 Billion Plan To Rebuild Washington Dulles Airport

Washington Dulles International Airport may finally receive the comprehensive overhaul travelers have been waiting decades to see.

President Donald Trump, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, and United Airlines have announced a massive capital program that would rebuild much of the airport while preserving its iconic Eero Saarinen-designed main terminal* (*more on that below).

The proposal includes approximately five million square feet of new or renovated airport space and envisions a permanent midfield-concourse complex replacing the aging C and D facilities.
