Building the Future DFW
A new era is approaching at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) with a multi-billion-dollar plan to expand, upgrade and build new facilities throughout the next few years. With projects spreading across all terminals, throughout the airport’s landside roadways, and on the airfield, we’re creating a better customer experience, designing a more efficient operation, and preparing DFW Airport and the North Texas region for more historic growth. DFW is getting bigger and better. It’s going to be monumental.
