According to a new release from the Tampa International Airport, the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Board of Directors approved the Aviation Authority’s Fiscal Year 2023 Capital and Operating Budget on Thursday. This budget includes the new $787.4 million terminal.
Airside D will be the fifth airside terminal at TPA, the first new one in more than 17 years, and will be paid for with a mix of federal and state grants, and airport-issued bonds. The project was originally slated to begin in 2021 but was delayed due to COVID-19.
Airside D highlights:
- Construction is expected to start in 2024 and be completed in 2027
- The new terminal will enable the Airport to serve an additional 13 million passengers by 2037
- Airside D’s 16 gates will serve domestic and international flights, bringing TPA’s total gates to 72
- The building will be about 563,000 square feet with vast concessions space, an outdoor terrace, state-of-the-art Customs and security facilities, as well as new screening, gate check-in and bag processing technologies.
