All eyes happen to be on Dulles International Airport this afternoon,
which held a grand opening for its now state-of-the-art Concourse E.
From what I hear, it has all the bells and whistles and then some.
Stephanie Ramirez with more.
Guys, they're making history here at Dulles International Airport.
You can see this is the brand new Concourse E.
A lot of activity today because
the opening ceremony is happening today.
And then the Concourse officially opens to the public tomorrow.
First, I want to play for you some of the interview we did this morning
with the Washington Dulles International Airport Vice President
and Airport Manager, Richard Golonowski.
First of all, we're very excited.
It's a wonderful day for Dulles Airport.
It's really good for the airport and for the region.
We're adding 14 narrow-body gates, 7 wide-body gates.
You can see as you look around, the hold rooms are large,
the walkway's large, 15 new concessions.
So this is the first major project like this in two decades?
Correct, about two decades.
And this is the foundation of the transformation of Dulles Airport.
We have $22 billion worth of work committed here
at Dulles Airport over the next 7 to 15 years.
Everything that we built from here on out
is really going to look like this.
Now, guys, 14 new United Airlines gates designed meant
to have passengers wrap around instead of bunching up at the gate.
Elevated walkways for international travelers
and also all kinds of different amenities including a brewery,
a distillery and restaurants where you can actually sit down and enjoy.
It's not just like you're in a mall in a food court area.
Now I want to show you this here especially.
Almost every seat you go to updated guys.
You have a place to plug in, get your electronics going.
Also it's not just for United passengers.
The AeroTrain system will now go straight up
to the brand new Concourse E. They do
They'll have the use of people movers.
If you're flying internationally,
you can use a people mover to get here.
But everything, state-of-the-art, brand new, even the bathrooms, guys,
plenty of space in the stall for your luggage.
Again, officially opening tomorrow,
the first United flight out, I'm told, is at 10.15.
I'll toss it back to you.
