New features to the terminal would include a mother's room, a private security screening room and potentially, a fixed walkway. The expanded security checkpoint, according to Wilhelm, is to allow for modernized Transportation Security Administration ( TSA) screening equipment that is too large for the current terminal. Mason City Airport's proposed new terminal would be a significant expansion on the current facility, featuring an expanded lobby, gate hold area, baggage area and security checkpoint. The proposed new facility would be located directly west of the current terminal, and would be constructed while the old terminal is still operational, allowing for business at the airport to continue as usual during construction. The project aims modernize and expand the offerings compared to the current facility to accommodate for increased ridership at the airport, and to potentially increase the flights offered at the airport in the future. The airport terminal expansion project is currently aiming to build an entirely new airport terminal to replace the current one. 'We were aiming for a clean, modern look,' Wilhelm said.

The Mason City Airport Commission met on Monday to review plans for the airport expansion project, and to take a look at renderings and floor plans provided by Foth, the engineering company brought on for the project.Īdam Wilhelm, project engineer for Foth, presented the project specifications and renderings to the airport commission.
