Starting this week, getting to Harvey Milk Terminal 1 will be a lot easier for travelers. The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) announced plans to reopen the AirTrain people mover station serving Harvey Milk Terminal 1 on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. This station has been closed since July 2021 to facilitate construction of a connection to the new terminal.
AirTrain vehicles will begin stopping at the Harvey Milk Terminal 1 station after 3:00am on April 26th. Passengers will travel across a connector to arrive in the terminal on the mezzanine level and will then take an elevator or escalator down to the departures level for airline check-in and security checkpoint screening. Passengers exiting Harvey Milk Terminal 1 will continue to be directed to the AirTrain station located in the International Terminal.
Passengers arriving from the reopened AirTrain station will have an opportunity to experience the SFO Museum exhibit Harvey Milk: Messenger of Hope, which features photos, correspondence, and campaign materials. It provides a glimpse into Harvey Milk’s life, including his activism and ascendance as a political leader in San Francisco, his tragic assassination, and his legacy of advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion that lives on today.
