Elevate CVG Projects
Welcome Point
One of the first projects was to reconfigure the Welcome Point and install new exit lane technology on the lower level of the Terminal. Construction consisted of two phases, which started in August 2023 and finished in spring 2024.
Baggage System
Another part of this modernization program involves the design and installation of a new baggage handling system. The new system will enhance operational efficiency and bag processing times. Design of this critical system is expected to occur in 2024 with construction taking place over several phases for three years.
