SEATTLE — The gleaming new International Arrivals Facility at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which opened last year at a cost of about $1 billion, was supposed to fit 20 big, widebody aircraft simultaneously.
But according to the Port of Seattle, that many long-haul aircraft won't fit side by side because of flaws in the design.
The Port, which operates the airport, says the facility can currently take only 16 large aircraft at a time.
