As a provider of destination management services in Detroit, Special D Events staff can’t wait for September 2008. That is when the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport will open a new North Terminal, replacing the older Smith and Berry terminals. If you have traveled through Smith and Berry recently you understand why this is so important for Detroit. ‘Nuff said.One interesting note: the North Terminal will be the first terminal designed and built in the U.S. since 9/11. So, instead of retrofitting old space to meet new guidelines, the North Terminal was conceived with these new rules in mind. Getting through security should be much easier Detroit than in other cities.

When you consider the fact that Detroit’s other terminal (McNamara) opened in 2002 and still looks great, we will make a great first impression on the world. So, what are you waiting for? Come check us out! Life is good in The D.
