Mayor Jon Mitchell said:

"We’ve been asked what the new terminal at NB Regional Airport will look like. Although the actual design will not be completed until next year, this video will give you a vivid sense of the concept, including the scale, general layout, and orientation of the facility (complete with elevator music). Many thanks to the Baker-Polito Administration for funding this investment, and to Rep. Straus and the Airport Commission for teaming up with us to advocate for it."

The video shows multiple counter kiosks for entering passengers. An elevator will take customers travelers and guests to the second floor to comfortably wait for flights in a spacious lounge and business area.

Lastly, you'll get an amazing view of the tarmac to watch planes land and take off.

Here are the full details of the newly designed and developed tower and terminal set for Airport Road in New Bedford.
