4 projects approved at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport during March board meeting

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board approved spending an additional $1.2 million to ensure the Rental Car Center renovation is completed ahead of the World Cup.

That was one of four items approved during the March 5 board meeting held at DFW Airport headquarters.

Rental Car Center renovation: James R. Thompson Inc., from Dallas, was awarded the work on the Rental Car Center master renovation for the front of house for all rental car tenants and to replace and upgrade the HVAC systems.

Due to delays associated with the change in market shares of rental car companies, additional resources are required to implement the changes and to accelerate the work, according to board documents.

The first game in Dallas Stadium is the Netherlands vs. Japan on June 14.

Runway rehabilitation: Runway 18L-36R, constructed in 1974 when the airport opened, handles 50% of all departures on the west side of the airport, according to board documents.

An engineering assessment identified the need for rehabilitation for the runaway.
