What is TREX?

The vision: a modern, reimagined gateway. Where the comfort, efficiency and friendliness are the introduction to a region full of opportunity. The Terminal Renovation and Expansion Program, better known as TREX, is Spokane International Airport’s multi-year, multi-phase initiative to expand and enhance the terminal facility to achieve this vision. It’s the airport’s largest capital initiative to date and an intentional investment in our region’s future. From new gates and ticket counters to upgraded facilities and enhanced passenger touchpoints, each component of the TREX Program is grounded in our commitment to meeting the needs of today’s passengers, while preparing for tomorrow’s growth.

Project Overview

TREX isn’t just one project. It’s a series of coordinated development initiatives taking shape in and around the airport over the next several years to bring our vision of a more modern, efficient terminal facility to life for the Inland Northwest.

Phase 1: Concourse C Expansion (completed June 2026)

The Concourse C Expansion Project, the first component of the TREX Program, was the foundational project that makes all future TREX-related initiatives possible. Construction on the Concourse C Expansion, a 144,000-square-foot addition to the Airport’s existing terminal building that resulted in three new gates, six new ticket counters and a suite of new passenger amenities, began in 2022 and was completed in two major phases: the Concourse C West Expansion and the Concourse C East Expansion.

Phase 2: Central Hall Project (beginning Q2 2026)

The second part of the airport’s TREX Program, designed to build off the enabling work brought to life through the C Concourse Expansion, the component is aimed at creating a 255,000-square foot centralized facility at the heart of the airport. The end goal? Consolidated baggage claim areas, more efficient security screening, easier access to airport concessions, and even more passenger-focused amenities. To enable this development, teams will first need to relocate key utilities – a project component expected to span from Q2 2026 into early 2027.

Future Phases

Subject to future funding, subsequent TREX phases may include the modernization of the airport’s A and B concourses.
