Upgrades coming to Terminals D, F at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport

Ticketing enhancements in Terminal D and Terminal F and Skylink Station work on Terminal F, were among the items approved at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport board meeting April 2.

Zooming in: Next+, the construction company working on new Terminal F, worked with the airport staff for a revised execution plan for the change of gate capacity from 15 to 31. That new approach will still enable Terminal F to have 10 gates open in May 2027, with an additional five gates by the end of the year.

A phased approach will happen for the remaining 16 gates, according to board documents.

The details: Terminal D, used for international flights, will see ticket enhancements, part of a $470,378 contract with Swinerton Builders of Dallas.

Board documents stated that international travel continues to grow and that upgrades are needed to the check-in and security screening areas.
