Design and Construction Details

Terminal F was meticulously designed with an eye towards future growth, with provisions made for the addition of extra gates. The construction is being carried out using modular techniques, ensuring efficiency and speed. Currently, elements are being engineered at a factory site, where precision and quality are being upheld.

The project is being led by the Innovation Next+, an all-American consortium comprising Archer Western Construction, Turner Construction, Phillips May Corporation, HJ Russell & Company, and Carcon Industries. Renowned consultants like Gensler, PGAL, and Muller2 are also involved, bringing their expertise to the table.

Connectivity and Passenger Experience

Passengers using Terminal F will have a seamless travel experience. They will check in at Terminal E and move between the two terminals using the airport's Skylink light rail system. This seamless connectivity ensures that passengers can effortlessly transition between different areas of the airport.

DFW's chief executive, Sean Donohue, emphasizes the importance of Terminal F, stating that it will expand the airport's footprint with state-of-the-art facilities. These facilities are aligned with the airport's first-in-class customer experience and operation, catering to the growing demand for air travel in the north Texas region.

Project Timeline and Future Plans

The project is scheduled to open to the public in 2027, marking a significant milestone in the airport's development. In September 2024, work began on $9bn of improvement works at DFW, including a rebuild of Terminal C and an expansion of Terminal A. These ongoing projects further enhance the airport's capacity and capabilities.

DFW is already one of the world's busiest airports by passenger traffic, ranking after Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta and Dubai International. The addition of Terminal F and the ongoing improvements will solidify its position as a global aviation hub.
