Progress on International Arrival Facility program elements was summarized. Commissioners
commented on environmental certification of the facility and asked about schedule challenges and
alternative sequencing for opening parts of the new facility. Commissioners inquired about system
testing, federal agency staffing levels, and passenger throughput.
