Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and American Airlines have opened nine new gates. The gates are part of the airport’s plan to add 115,000 square feet of new boarding gates, seating areas and concessions to Terminal C as part of its $12 billion DFW Forward capital improvement program.
“Terminal C represents the future of DFW taking shape in real time,” said DFW CEO Chris McLaughlin. “As we prepare to welcome summer travelers and global visitors to North Texas, customers are beginning to see years of planning and investment come to life. Together with American Airlines, we are modernizing one of our most important facilities while building the capacity and customer experience needed to serve the next generation of travel.”
“DFW is central to our global operation and the historic investments we are making to modernize and expand our terminal facilities in partnership with DFW Airport will continue to enhance the customer experience and make way for future growth,” added American’s senior vice president of DFW operations Jim Moses. “The opening of the new pier provides a preview of what customers can expect from the ongoing transformation at DFW, showcasing American’s Forever Forward mindset as we look to the future. The expansion also arrives just in time to serve our customers during what’s going to be a landmark summer.”
