BWI History:
In 1947 construction began on a new Airport in Maryland and in 1950 President Harry S. Truman dedicates Friendship International Airport on June 24th. Scheduled airline service began one month later.
In 1973 Secretary of Transportation, Harry Hughes announced plans to upgrade improve and modernize all Maryland Airport facilities The airport is renamed Baltimore / Washington International Airport (BWI) to reflect its role as the transportation center of the region. And in 1974 the first phase of BWI modernization is completed at a cost of $30 million; upgrades included: improved instrument landing capabilities and runway systems and construction of three new air cargo terminals, expanding the airport's freight capacity to 110,000 square feet.
In 1979 BWI more than doubled in size to 635,000 square feet, gate positions increased from 20 to 27. Total cost of project: $70 million.
In 1994 BWI broke ground on a $27.6 million expansion to extend Pier C, bringing six additional domestic gate positions to the terminal. Southwest Airlines Co. signed up for all six new gate positions. Construction began on $140-million international terminal to handle projected traffic increases into the 21st century. The new wing added six gates, more ticket counter space, and expanded the existing U.S. Customs and Immigration and Naturalization Service facilities.
In 2002 the Maryland Board of Public Works approves a $3 million contract for the demolition and re-construction of Pier A to create a 31-gate continuous concourse for Southwest Airlines Co. This project signals the beginning of major terminal expansion at BWI.
Nowadays BWI Airport Serves 52 Airlines, and averages 730 flights a day, carrying 55,000 passengers a day (that’s 20 million a year!)
