United Opens New Concourse E at Washington Dulles, a 435,000-Square-Foot Terminal With 14 Gates
United Airlines and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority opened Concourse E at Washington Dulles International Airport in Loudoun County, Virginia, on Tuesday, November 10 — the airport’s first new concourse in nearly 20 years. The 435,000-square-foot concourse has 14 gates, all used by United, and connects directly to the main terminal via the AeroTrain. It features light-filled hold rooms, power and wireless charging at seats, expanded restrooms, and shops and restaurants including local brands Ellie Bird and Honor Brewing. United said the added gates will support more than 300 daily departures next summer and lift peak-period connectivity by nearly 30 percent. Concourse E is the first phase of the Dulles Global Gateway modernization program, an investment of more than $20 billion covering a new concourse, main-terminal upgrades, an AeroTrain expansion and new customs facilities. United also plans to launch its first Airbus A321XLR international routes from Dulles in December, to Amsterdam and Dublin, with Toulouse and Milan services to follow next year.
