Airline Realignment Overview
Opening of the International Arrivals Facility (IAF) is driving the need to rebalance airline
locations and facilities at SEA
Signatory Lease and Operating Agreement (SLOA) gives the Port the authority to move
airlines around and recover costs in rates and charges
Airport staff spent two-plus years negotiating the current Realignment Plan with Airlines
SEA made the decision in December of 2019, but COVID-19 delayed implementation
Project anticipates United will move to Concourse B gates in 2024
The actual number and specific location of gates will be assigned as part of the future 2024
SLOA gate allocation process
