On July 18, 2006, it was announced that the airport approved funding for building a new terminal. The project will take about four years to complete.[citation needed]
Terminal The airport has a single, elongated terminal building with 12 gates. Six gates are located along the length of the terminal (three on either side) and a circular area at the end has six more gates.
The terminal handles more passenger traffic than it was originally designed for. Nineteen planes are berthed every night, and the circular area - where Southwest Airlines, the airport's largest carrier, controls three gates - is especially vulnerable to crowds and long lines. The new terminal will be Y-shaped and have 20 gates to better serve the growing number of passengers who pass through the airport each year.[citation needed] Southwest Airlines, Inc. ...
Air service Southwest is the largest carrier at Little Rock National, followed by American Eagle and Delta. Since September 11, 2001, Little Rock has seen a decline in mainline aircraft flights. In 2002, American pulled its mainline flights to Dallas, and in 2003, pulled out all together with its last flights being to St. Louis. American Eagle resumed service to St. Louis in May of 2005. American Eagle also continues service to Dallas and Chicago O'Hare, being the second largest carrier in Little Rock with about 20 flights a day. Delta pulled mainline flights from Dallas and replaced them with regional jets, before stopping service to DFW all together when DFW was de-hubbed. Delta offers several daily mainline flights to Atlanta. Although mainline service has declined, new routes have been announced in its place, with service to Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Minneapolis, Orlando, Newark, and Salt Lake City being added in the past few years. The airport manager has said many times that they are working with many airlines in hopes of upgrading aircraft. The last turboprop flights at the airport are operated by US Airways Express to Kansas City. The airport gained a new airline, Frontier JetExpress in 2004, filling in the gap left by United with service to Denver.
