The New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport is finally lifting itself out of janky airport territory with a $826-million "world class airport terminal complex", expected to be completed by 2018. Mayor Mitch Landrieu says the new north terminal is "the most transformative project for New Orleans since the Superdome,"with starchitect César Pelli, Manning Architects, Crescent City Aviation Team, and Leo A. Daly/Atkins on Team Design. The 650,000-square-foot terminal will have 30 gates and part of the project includes a $17-million on-site hotel.
