Terminals
McNamara Terminal
The McNamara Terminal opened on February 25, 2002, replacing the outdated Davey Terminal. It was also alternately named the Northwest WorldGateway when Northwest Airlines existed, and was originally known as the Midfield Terminal during development. All SkyTeam alliance airlines serving the airport operate out of the McNamara Terminal.
Concourse A is the main building of the McNamara Terminal.
A second structure contains concourses B & C. Concourse B was completed with Concourse A, while Concourse C was at first a small, temporary structure but was replaced with the current permanent structure in 2006. Both concourses are connected to Concourse A through an underground tunnel under the terminal's ramps that features color-changing walls synchronized to an original musical score composed by Victor Alexeeff that runs for nearly 30 minutes before repeating.
Evans Terminal
The Evans Terminal opened as the North Terminal on September 17, 2008, replacing the outdated Michael Berry and Smith Terminals, and received its current name on April 4, 2022. All non-SkyTeam airlines serving the airport, and all non-SkyTeam partner charter airlines, operate out of the Evans Terminal.
