Significant projects to enhance baggage screening and improve the flow of passengers through the terminal are underway because Bradley International Airport needs to keep up with rebounding activity. The pandemic hit the aviation industry hard, and Bradley did not escape the disruption. In 2020, its annual passenger traffic plummeted 65% to 2.4 million. The projects’ estimated cost totals approximately $243 million. CAA has secured about $99 million in federal funding. The remaining $144 million will come from passenger-facility charges, which are included in the prices of airline tickets, and airport revenues, which comprise landing and terminal-use fees, as well as revenues from terminal concessions, parking and terminal advertising. Among infrastructure projects completed at the airport in the past few years, a ground transportation center opened in 2022. The hub includes 830 parking spots and a rental-car center.
