$3B reconstruction, expansion underway at DFW Airport Terminal C 

DALLAS – The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport has begun construction on the first phase of its $3 billion reconstruction of Terminal C. 

The project represents the beginning of “DFW Forward,” a $9 billion capital improvement plan that includes more than 180 projects including the renovation of Terminal C and the incoming sixth Terminal F. 

Work on Terminal C will involve removing more than 400 view-blocking columns, installing new glass windows and raising the roof through the concourse. 

The renovation will also add new shops and restaurants, lounge space, check-in areas, security checkpoints and improved restrooms. 

Concurrently with the first phase of Terminal C’s reconstruction, the airport will also add two new piers to expand Terminal C and Terminal A. 

The expansions will add 115,000 sf and four gates to Terminal C and 140,000 sf and five gates to Terminal A. 

The additional capacity will accommodate new restaurant and retail options, seating areas, and restrooms.  

The south parking garage next to Terminal C will be completely rebuilt with more spaces and with modern parking management technology. 

Following the first phase and expansion, the remainder of Terminal C concourse will be demolished and rebuilt in two additional phases.  

Airport officials expect to complete the overall reconstruction of Terminal C in 2030.
