🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Eppley Airfield (OMA) is currently operating with a unique split-terminal configuration as of February 2025, part of the BuildOMA modernization project. The airport divides operations between North Terminal (Concourse B, gates B11-B20) serving Southwest and United, and South Terminal (Concourse A, gates A1-A10) serving American and Delta. This temporary arrangement, necessitated by construction of a new Central Pavilion scheduled to open in 2027, requires passengers to navigate between terminals via Terminal Drive walkways or the lower level of the South Garage.
As Nebraska's largest airport, located 3 miles northeast of downtown Omaha, Eppley handles over 5 million passengers annually with Southwest Airlines commanding the largest market share at 37%, followed by American at 21% and Delta at 18%. The split configuration maintains separate security checkpoints, ticketing areas, and baggage claims for each terminal, requiring passengers to carefully verify their terminal assignment before arrival.
Despite the construction, both terminals offer modern amenities including local dining options featuring Omaha steaks, retail shops, and free WiFi. The airport's three runways (14R/32L, 14L/32R, and 18/36) continue normal operations throughout the renovation, which represents the facility's most significant upgrade in four decades and will ultimately create a unified, state-of-the-art terminal complex.
