The master plan also emphasizes that “future projects will continue the airport’s commitment to take into account sea level rise. “It will include a new departure lounge, with more space for passengers and concessions, and connections to jet bridges that will increase passenger safety.” “The terminal expansion will complement the new terminal that was built in 2009,” the plan states. The existing terminal building, which locals continue to describe as “new,” was included in the 2003 master plan, while the 2018 plan calls for another terminal expansion in the next six to 10 years.

“Key West International Airport is expecting air traffic to continue to increase by an average annual growth rate of 2.4% over the next 20 years.” The diagram shows some of the changes planned for Key West International Airport. “During the 2018 calendar year, Key West International Airport saw a 14% growth in total passengers,” while 2019 experienced a 12% increase, county documents state.
