American Airlines, DFW Airport strike deal to build new $3.5 billion terminal (2019/5/20 The Dallas Morning News Mitchell Schnurman)
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and chief tenant American Airlines have agreed to build a sixth passenger terminal, the first such expansion at the region's economic driver since 2005.
They'll also update Terminal C, which opened with the airport in 1974 and is the only original terminal that has not been renovated. Together, the projects will cost up to $3.5 billion, and Terminal F could open by 2025, officials said on Monday.
The improvements and investments, contemplated for several years, double down on some of the most important infrastructure in the state. DFW Airport and the Dallas-Fort Worth economy have grown side by side for decades, and one’s success would be almost unimaginable without the other's.
The Dallas metro area often leads the nation in job growth, adding over 100,000 jobs annually in recent years. Passenger traffic at DFW has grown almost as fast -- and airfares have dropped sharply, in part because DFW has attracted discount carriers like Spirit Airlines.

The new terminal will have up to 24 gates, which will address increasing congestion at DFW as well as future growth opportunities for American and over two dozen other airlines. DFW has more than 1,000 daily departures to 250 cities, and that connectivity is often cited as a key factor in corporate expansions in North Texas.
Just last week, American and DFW were tentatively awarded a new route to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, the top choice of business travelers to Japan. Such service is especially important to Japanese-owned companies like Toyota, which moved its North American headquarters to Plano two years ago.
