United Opens 14-Gate Concourse E at Dulles in $20B Overhaul
Dulles, Virginia – November 10, 2026 -- United Airlines and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) are opening Concourse E at Washington Dulles International Airport on Nov. 10. The 435,000-square-foot facility adds 14 gates and is the airport's first new concourse in nearly two decades. United says the gates will let it fly more than 300 daily departures from Dulles next summer.
The concourse is the first visible piece of Dulles Global Gateway, a capital program of more than $20 billion that the Airports Authority, United and the U.S. Department of Transportation plan to deliver over the next decade. The program covers new and modernized concourses, additional gates, an enhanced Main Terminal, expanded AeroTrain service and a new U.S. Customs facility.
