DFW Airport Breaks Ground on $1.6 Billion Terminal F Project

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has officially started construction on Terminal F, the airport's sixth terminal and its first entirely new terminal since 2005. The groundbreaking ceremony, held today, marked the beginning of the $1.6 billion project aimed at expanding the airport’s capabilities to accommodate increasing air travel demand.

The state-of-the-art Terminal F will feature a 400,000-square-foot concourse with 15 gates and a double-loaded design. It will also include modernized amenities, modular construction techniques, and innovative facilities. The project includes an expansion of Terminal E, which will connect to Terminal F via the Skylink system, with completion expected in 2027.

Terminal F has been designed for future scalability, with provisions for additional gates and facilities. Combined with ongoing expansions in Terminals A and C, the airport's development projects aim to add 24 new gates to meet future growth.

Leaders Speak on Terminal F
Sean Donohue, DFW’s CEO, highlighted the terminal’s alignment with the airport's vision for superior customer experiences. Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker emphasized the project’s importance for connectivity and regional growth, while DFW Airport Board Chair DeMetris Sampson underscored its potential for job creation and economic opportunities.

Innovation Through Modular Construction
The project will utilize modular construction techniques, which proved successful in rebuilding Terminal C gates in 2022. This approach will streamline construction, allowing prefabrication work to proceed at a separate site before installation at the terminal.

The design-build team for Terminal F, Innovation Next+, includes Archer Western Construction, Turner Construction, Phillips May Corporation, H.J. Russell & Company, and CARCON Industries, with PGAL, Gensler, and Muller2 as design partners.

Construction for Terminal F continues DFW's legacy of innovation and growth, positioning the airport as a global leader in modern aviation infrastructure.
