Trans World Flight Center, the original terminal building, or head house, operated as TWA main terminal from 1962 to 2001.
Designed for Trans World Airlines by Eero Saarinen and Associates, with inputs by Howard Hughes. Design incorporates elements of the Futurist, Neo-futurist, and Fantastic architectural styles. It featured a prominent wing shaped thin shell roof supported by four Y-shaped piers. Inside an open three-level space with tall windows enabling views of departing and arriving jets. Two tube-shaped red-carpeted departure-arrival corridors extended outward, connecting to the gates.
