Vancouver Airport restarts work on terminal building expansion

Work has reportedly commenced for the $300m expansion of the Pier D international terminal building at Canada’s Vancouver International Airport. Vancouver Airport Authority CEO Tamara Vrooman said that the airport has planned to go ahead with the project. The expansion is expected to be completed and opened for passengers in December 2020. Previously, the building was set to open in June but construction was halted due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Construction started in 2018 and the work will now focus on outfitting the building’s interior. YVR will feature eight additional wide body gates, along with four jet bridge gates when open. It will also feature four remote stand operation bus gates to enhance capacity at the terminal building.<br/>
