$8.6M improvements coming to Terminal D at DFW Airport

Two renovations are coming to Terminal D at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

What's happening? The primary terminal for international travel will get additional security check-ins and screening options.

Swinerton Builders was selected to add two lanes to the central passenger screening checkpoint, 19 self-service bag drops and 42 self-service check-in kiosks. The $8.6 million contract started late last year and has a 390-day construction window.

Additional security checkpoints will help improve customer experience, meet the demand of international passengers and support the first phase of Terminal F, which is still under construction, according to documents.
