The AUS Terminal East Infill Project (TEIP) adds 26,000 square feet (2,416 square metres) at the concourse and baggage claim levels and improves security screening, ticketing, customs, and baggage handling.
At the concourse level, a new 10-lane Security Screening Checkpoint streamlines passenger flow. The reconfigured east ticketing lobby features a common use passenger processing system with digital signage and additional self-service kiosks.
On the baggage claim level, the project introduces a new facility operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, increasing international arrivals processing from 100 to 600 passengers per hour.
Three new domestic baggage carousels—including a common-use carousel—were added. These enhance outbound baggage handling, while modifications to the default run-out system streamline apron operations for departing flights. The former international claim area was repurposed exclusively for domestic arrivals, and a new claim device offers increased presentation length to accommodate larger flights. Existing baggage claim areas were refurbished to improve reliability and performance. A phased construction approach provided continuous baggage operations throughout the project.
Additionally, the project adds 4,000 square feet (372 square metres) of new concession space, enhancing the passenger experience. Plus, the design keeps community at heart, featuring native Texas limestone carved with machine precision to reflect topographical elevations of the Austin area.
Designed for LEED Silver certification, AUS continues to prioritize efficiency and sustainability while offering a seamless, comfortable, and high-quality passenger experience.
