Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) is not just seeing a surge in passengers; it’s also undergoing major upgrades to improve the travel experience for millions.
Passenger Growth:
In 2024, PBIA welcomed 8.5 million passengers, an 8% increase from the previous year. It’s even earned recognition as the third-best airport in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure. This is in large part because travelers love PBIA’s smaller, more convenient size, quick security, and affordable fares—especially compared to nearby airports. It’s a favorite for those looking to get in and out without hassle.
Major Upgrades Underway:
- Modernization Projects: A major overhaul is underway, connecting Concourses A, B, and C with new lounges, skylights, and interactive spaces.
- Concourse B Expansion: More dining options, bathrooms, and even a nursing suite are coming to Concourse B, with completion set for 2028.
What’s Next:
PBIA is preparing for even more passengers in 2025, thanks to these extensive upgrades that will enhance everything from infrastructure to passenger services. These construction projects not only improve the overall airport experience but also benefit the local economy by creating jobs, boosting tourism, and increasing revenue.
As PBIA grows and modernizes, it aims to remain a convenient and welcoming hub for both travelers and airlines. The ongoing improvements promise to make the airport safer, more efficient, and an even better gateway to Palm Beach County.
