Opened in late 2022, South Terminal Phase 1, added 15 gates capable of accommodating up to 18 aircraft depending on the combination of narrow body, jumbo and super-jumbo aircraft. This is the largest expansion to the airport to date and consists of multiple buildings including a 5-Level passenger processing Landside Terminal (LST) building, an additional 1,100 spaces to the existing parking garage, and a 2-story connecting hub for the Parking Garage, LST, & previously completed Intermodal Terminal Facility (ITF).

The Landside Terminal Building is a 5-Level passenger processing building that includes an estimated 816,000 gross square feet (GSF). Included in the scope of this building are the Arrivals, Departures and Commercial Curbsides. There is a baggage conveyance basement connecting the LST to the GTF for baggage and service transfer. An enclosed bridge crosses the Terminal Roadways, providing a pedestrian connection to the Ground Transportation Facility and the Phase 1 Parking Garage. Level 1 of this building is the commercial curbside level, which is a public passenger area with covered hardscape and canopies that partially cover commercial vehicle parking spaces. Level 2 is the ticketing and check-in Level, which includes the TSA security checkpoint. Level 3 is a mezzanine providing baggage right-of-ways. Level 4 is the arrivals and baggage claim level, which includes Customs and Border Protection (CBP), International Bag Claim, and Domestic Bag Claim. Level 5 is a partial mezzanine for mechanical and electrical equipment. A grand central civic space and multi-level garden areas will be accessible by both the ticketing and baggage claim levels.
