Changes To TIA Security Exit Could Decrease Bottlenecks

Passengers at Tulsa International Airport will be getting relief at the security exit.

Remember the moving spiral exit door that would clog up when a flight arrived? TIA decided to tear them out and replace them with a faster solution.

Construction just started on the new door system.

Airport Spokeswoman Alexis Higgins said this will help get rid of bottlenecks.

"What this does, it provides a wide-open area for customers as they're exiting to get right out into the non-secure area, to get out to baggage claim a little bit quicker," Higgins said.

The first set of doors will open on the "B Concourse" side and the airport said the doors will be ready before the Christmas rush.
