This Wednesday, Portland International Airport (PDX) <\/strong>opened its new main terminal, which has twice the capacity and was built and designed by more than 30,000 local craftsmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur focus throughout this entire project was: How do we reflect the pride and love we all have for the region, in the new PDX? And that question drove every decision. To work with locally-owned small businesses using local materials, to fill the new PDX with local art and shops from our favorite neighborhoods\u2014and, of course, to bring back the iconic carpet,\u201d said Curtis Robinhold, Executive Director for the Port of Portland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating, drinking, and shopping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both pre- and post-security, travelers will find more places to eat, drink and shop that reflect the community. In fact, all the new brands are local, and 60 percent include woman or minority ownership. From the feminist stationery and gift shop Paper Epiphanies, to the handmade pasta counter Grassa, the 20 new brands and returning PDX favorites are a mix of permanent retail locations and temporary kiosks\u2014with even more local spots to come in Phase 2 of construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk in the forest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the new terminal, there are touches of the region\u2019s signature greenery and landscapes. There are towering live trees and plants galore, and soft daylight filters through the wooden roof, almost like light filtering through a forest canopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An easier trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Improvements to the traveler journey go beyond making the space more beautiful and light-filled, and include technical upgrades as well. That means wider TSA checkpoints with new equipment (and more of it) to make the screening process more efficient. Plus, travelers now check in at airline ticket counters arranged in four \u201cislands\u201d to better accommodate future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s still ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The $2.15 billion expansion is being completed in two phases. The next and final phase, to construct permanent exist lanes, meet and greet areas, and even more local shops and restaurants, starts Aug. 15 and will be complete by early 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
