No word on what/when phase 3 is, only that phase 2 is to be done by 2020 if funds are available.

The new CEO says retail at airport would suffer if he channels US people through another gate because they wouldn't pass store and make purchases. Well, someone should tell him if ALL US people bought nothing they'd still lose money so think about perhaps moving some store to the newly formed US Customs gate. Of course this is good for us not SXM so why should they establish US clearance.

Nothing was happening in Phase ll as of Tuesday.
I took this photo of the originals check-in area Tuesday. Not one person in site!
