Terminal drop-off changes coming as part of RDU expansion

Starting in 2028, if you want to fly out of Terminal 2 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, you will park and enter the airport near Terminal 1.

This temporary change is part of the overall airport expansion to accommodate more travelers and ease congestion at the airport.

Travelers flying out of Terminal 2 will be dropped off at temporary Terminal 2 departures curb. It will be located between the parking garage and Terminal 1. It's expected to open in early 2028.

RDU is expected to add new signs, elevators, escalators and stairs to help move travelers from the temporary curb into the parking garage and between the terminals. Travelers will pass through the parking garage on two moving sidewalks.

In addition, airport employees will help direct passengers and aid those with physical limitations.

The diversion for dropoffs is expected to last through 2030.
