Getting to and from the Keys may soon become a little easier:
Key West International Airport (EYW) is set to open a new $80 million terminal this spring, slated for completion in October 2024.
A new concourse is to include a reinforced security checkpoint, concessions and baggage claim areas; a spacious starting area; and glass-enclosed jet bridges that connect planes to the facility and offer virtual tours of Key West.
