What’s Next?

Terminal 2 Gets a Cool New Observation Deck 

SFO’s skyline continues to evolve, offering new opportunities to connect passengers with the excitement of the airfield. The floors above Terminal 2 were recently renovated to improve seismic safety, offering us the opportunity to build an outdoor observation deck that connects passengers directly with the excitement of the airfield.

In addition to the observation deck, SFO is building a new airline lounge, office space and an additional gate at Terminal 2.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
