American Airlines switching concourses at CVG as part of major ramp upgrades

A legacy carrier at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is changing concourses this spring to clear the way for a multi-year construction project that could have all airlines playing a version of musical chairs. American Airlines will shift its gate operations from Concourse A to Concourse B -- Delta's foothold -- around April 1. CVG officials are initiating a major ramp rehabilitation; work could take as many as two to three years to complete. It's considered a temporary change for now.  "Normally, when you do this kind of project, you cut the concrete out of one gate, which takes one gate down (at a time), but to expedite it. And because we are growing so fast we're going to do multiple gates at once," Bobby Spann, vice president of external affairs at CVG, said. "The only way to do multiple gates is to relocate (American) to B."
