DFW International Airport is kicking off a $2.5 billion capital development program, capping three years of strategic planning.

The program’s cornerstone is a $1.03 billion, 23-gate International Terminal D, totaling 1.8 million sf – double the size of the airport’s largest existing terminal. The terminal, to be completed in 2005, will house all international flights and feature 10 gates dedicated to the largest widebody aircraft. More than 112 ticketing stations will be incorporated into the design, which boasts skybridges, and a customs facility serving a maximum of 3,500 passengers per hour. Plans also are in the offing for a separate cargo transfer system for the terminal.Other capital improvements include a bi-directional, automated people mover system, eighth runway, extension of two existing runways and other infrastructure improvements. Investment in DFW’s infrastructure is estimated to run $1 million a day for the next six years.

“This is a milestone occasion for DFW International Airport,” says Jeff Fegan, Executive Director of DFW Airport. “This expansion will ensure that DFW remains globally competitive as the world’s airport of choice in the years ahead.”
