New York Post • • business
Key Points:
- San Francisco International Airport is seeking bidders to build a new private terminal aimed at wealthy travelers who want to bypass TSA lines and enjoy luxury amenities, with operations potentially starting by 2028.
- The terminal, located 6 miles from the main airport, will feature luxury lounges, private guest suites, TSA screening areas, and multi-party salon spaces, catering to commercial flyers willing to pay $800 to $1,800 for an elevated experience.
- Passengers will be transported by private cars along the tarmac directly to their aircraft and have access to a 13,415-square-foot parking lot for luxury vehicles near the terminal.
- The project targets affluent travelers without private aircraft, differentiating from ultra-wealthy individuals like Jeff Bezos who already have private aviation arrangements.
- The airport’s existing terminals are also expanding amenities, including United Airlines building its largest West Coast lounge, while similar private terminals already operate at Los Angeles and Dallas Fort Worth airports.
