A new international customs facility at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport was revealed Dec. 15 and is anticipated to be used by passengers within the next week.
The facility will double the airport's ability to handle international passengers from 200 to 400 passengers per hour. The area's new intuitive design helps accommodate the extra traffic, said architect Larry Speck, who was hired to design for the project.
"Now as you come off the plane there you see perfectly everything you have to go through," Speck said. "In many airports you don't intuitively know how to go. It's all very confusing."
