When complete, the elevated pedestrian walkway will rise 85 feet over an active taxi lane with planes travelling underneath. The overnight move brought the 320-foot-long center span walkway from Cargo 2 down the closed center runway to the bridge’s final destination between the South Satellite and new facility. Later today, four span jacks will lift the center span into place. This new facility, opening in 2020, creates a modern welcome to the world and improves the customer experience for international arrivals. Learn more / A new era for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport SEA launched a monumental year and decade today by ushering in a new era of customer-centered travel. The airport unveiled a new SEA airport brand identity and a suite of improvements that reflect the spirit of our Pacific Northwest home. The traveling public will begin seeing new brightly colored signage, uniforms and digital tools (www.flySEA.org) today as the first examples of the airport’s commitment to elevating the travel experience. Travelers can also look forward to new community-focused experiences and customer services including the expansion of SEA Visitor Pass, a free program that allows approved, non-ticketed visitors to go post-security to spend more time with friends and family.
