Port of Seattle – Air Mail Newsletter, Fall 2022

Looking to plan your next global adventure? When you return from overseas, the new International Arrivals Facility (IAF) is now open at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to welcome you home to the Pacific Northwest! The IAF replaces the former 50-year-old customs processing facility and improves passengers’ experience with breathtaking views, shorter waits, more gates for international aircraft, faster connections between flights, and an expanded and beautiful facility. It took nearly three million labor hours to construct this facility, including nearly one million minority labor hours (35%), over 500,000 apprentice hours (19%), and more than 139,000 (5%) labor hours by women. The modern welcome also advances the Puget Sound as a leading tourism and business gateway, supporting the continuing recovery of international travel. By this fall, travelers can see the world with nonstop flights servicing international destinations by 25 airlines. That’s up from pre-pandemic numbers of 42 services, 26 destinations, and 22 airlines.
