DFW Airport Begins Terminal Expansion

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has officially started construction on Terminal F – the airport’s sixth terminal and the first new construction of an entire terminal at DFW since 2005. The $1.6 billion Terminal F program will feature a 400,000-square-foot concourse and a SkyLink station.

The airport claims the process will be faster than most. DFW’s Sean Donohue said, “By utilizing modular construction techniques that we first pioneered with the High-C Gates, we will deliver Terminal F using technology at a scale that’s unique among airport development projects.” The Terminal F pre-fabrication site has already seen preparations for building the modules before being moved across the airfield for installation at the final terminal site.

The design-build team for the Terminal F concourse and Skylink station is Innovation Next+, a joint venture comprised of Archer Western Construction, Turner Construction Company, Phillips May Corporation, H. J. Russell & Company and CARCON Industries. PGAL, Gensler and Muller2 are design team members. The terminal is anticipated to open in 2027.
