KADENA AIR BASE, Okinawa — The airport passenger terminal fully re-opened this week after a $2 million facelift.

The refurbished digs include an additional check-in gate, plusher seating, modern rest areas, and seven new flat screen TVs that can be used to alert passengers of schedule changes.

The terminal was redesigned to create a more spacious and comfortable area for passengers waiting to board space-available flights.

The project took 16 months.

"Sometimes people are waiting for a couple of days. We want to provide a nice environment for them," said Air Force Capt. David Hansell, flight commander of passenger operations for the 733rd Air Mobility Squadron, which runs the airport.
