Opened in November 2019, the new Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) replaced the original 1959 terminal and supports over 80 percent of Louisiana’s air travelers. The $1.029 billion, 972,000-square-foot terminal features three concourses, 35 gates, a consolidated TSA checkpoint, parking facilities, and an open-concept design with dining, retail, and live music. Frischhertz-ERMCO delivered comprehensive electrical and systems services, overcoming the complexities of scale, design, and hurricane-zone construction.
