President Donald Trump unveiled his sweeping plans for a makeover at Dulles International Airport on Wednesday afternoon, six months after he first said his administration would be making changes.⁠
⁠
Trump and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the changes at 3 p.m. from the Oval Office. These renderings released by the Trump administration show what the proposed changes would look like.⁠
⁠
The new plan "will transform the airport over the next decade into a modern, world-class gateway," according to a news release from United Airlines. Dulles is a major hub for the airline, and United is working with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) on the renovations.⁠
⁠
Upgrades over the next 10 years include replacing the C/D concourse, additional terminals and gates with more seating areas, a larger U.S. Customs area to ease the international flight experience and more AeroTrain connections.⁠
⁠
Those AeroTrain upgrades will also retire the polarizing mobile lounges known as "people movers," according to the release.⁠
⁠
The redone airport will also include a “magnificent” multi-story parking garage with 32,000 parking spaces, NBC News reports.⁠
⁠
“It’ll be actually the largest garage in the world,” Trump said from the Oval Office.⁠
⁠
The proposed plan will cost more than $20 billion over the next 10 years.⁠
