The New DSM

Revolutionizing the passenger experience and operational efficiency at the Des Moines International Airport.

Lift DSM projects are interconnected; they are capital improvement projects that improve the safety and experience of passengers traveling through the Des Moines International Airport while also improving the operational efficiency of employees. Each Lift project will aid one or more strategic areas, yielding long-term regional and state benefits. The strategic areas include airport experience, growth, and efficiency.

Lift DSM | The Need

The Des Moines Airport Authority is committed to growing alongside the community to meet unprecedented passenger growth and evolving travel needs. Lift DSM is a comprehensive construction and renovation plan to meet the airport's capacity and technology needs to enhance air travel in Iowa.

The Terminal | Lifting the Passenger Experience

As Iowa's largest airport, we aim to curate a travel journey that is convenient, efficient, and enjoyable. As the number of people flying in and out of Iowa increases, the Des Moines International Airport needs a new terminal to accommodate the growth. Lift DSM culminates with constructing a new terminal, allowing us to plan for Iowa's future by improving the travel experience with modern amenities, technologies, and wayfinding.

Elevating the Travel Journey

The Des Moines International Airport's most recent terminal area forecast predicts 5 million passengers will use the airport facilities by 2042. The existing terminal building cannot adequately process that volume of passengers. The Airport Authority has worked relentlessly to maintain a pleasant passenger experience, but the current facilities are not equipped to handle sustained growth. Several operational priorities are measured to determine the quality of service the airport provides to meet the travel needs of Iowa. These priority facilities include gates, ticketing, security, baggage outbound, baggage inbound, holdrooms and concessions, and restrooms.

The new terminal will address these priority facilities ensuring we can meet the growing air travel demand for our region and remain the gateway to Iowa. The master plan includes a new terminal (Phase 1A) with the ability to expand through the implementation of two additional phases (Phase 1B and Phase 1C). The Des Moines Airport Authority is committed to creating a passenger experience that is good for both the travelers of today and for those in the future.

Contributors

The Des Moines Airport Authority is grateful to each financial contributor who understand the economic vitality of the Des Moines International Airport and have pledged funds to assist with the construction of the new terminal building which is poised to benefit all of Central Iowa.
