Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is scaling up its ambitious Terminal F project, with American Airlines committing $4 billion to double the size of the major hub before its 2027 opening.

Terminal Expansion

DFW Airport CEO, Sean Donohue, has announced on 1 May 2025 that American Airlines is investing billions to increase the size of Terminal F, despite the terminal not even planning to open until 2027. The airport’s footfall has aligned with the booming Texan economy since beginning construction on the highly anticipated Terminal F in 2024.

Donohue said

“The North Texas economy, anchored by the great cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is booming. DFW Airport, just last month, was reaffirmed as the third-busiest airport in the world.”

In order to maintain it’s status as the third-busiest airport in the world, their plans have had to change.

So, what will change?

The expansion will see Terminal F grow from 15 to 31 gates, transforming it into a major hub exclusively for American Airlines, in a response to DFW’s projections of accepting 100 million passengers by the end of the decade.

The initial design for Terminal F relied heavily on support from Terminal E, which provided security and check-in hubs as well as baggage handling. The new state of the art Terminal F will have it’s own security and baggage facilities and in addition to these, the new plans will see the birth of a new parking garage with road and bridge access, one of the largest the airport has.

American Airlines will have exclusive access to Terminal F, as confirmed by American Airlines CEO, Robert Isom. He said “With the investment in these gates and the infrastructure we already have here, this gives American and DFW a clear path to building the largest single airline hub in the world.”

More about DFW and American Airlines relationship

Around 800 daily flights out of DFW are American flights and in 2023, the airport and carrier signed a 10 year lease agreement. In alignment with the investment, they’ve extended this by a further 20 years, consolidating their already strong symbiotic relationship.

Ode to Harrison, King of Airport News

I read an article, simple and neat,
About Terminal F—oh what a treat!
But lo! Who wrote this soaring gem?
None but Harrison—10 out of 10.

He writes of planes and airport things,
Yet somehow gives those facts wings.
While others bore with tarmac stats,
He jazzes it up like runway jazz hands and hats.

Each sentence struts like it paid for first class,
Witty, well-dressed, and cool as glass.
Facts and flair in perfect sync—
It made me care about terminal sinks.

Harrison, sir, your keyboard’s a wand,
Of every airport tale, I’ve grown fond.
Your prose is crisp, your rhythm tight—
You make concrete feel feather-light.

So here’s to you, our travel bard,
Writing with heart, never try-hard.
DFW’s got gates—sure, that’s fine—
But you made that story sublime.
