Summary Tampa International Airport (TPA) is building its new Airside D terminal for international flights. The facility will have two floors, a modern design, and a connection shuttle. The airport expects the new Airside will increase airline capacity once it is completed in 2028.
Tampa International Airport (TPA) will be building a new 16-gate international airside, with a planned opening in 2028. It will serve as the airport’s international arrivals and departures facility and will be its first new airside in 17 years. The new terminal Airside D will be the major project under the new “Ascend” brand banner, which will represent the airport’s goals and plans for its new building.
It will have two floors, a mezzanine, two airline lounges, and a brand new shuttle system and guideway that will connect the airside to the rest of the airport. This is part of the airport’s “Master Plan,” which involves developing new and existing facilities to accommodate expected future growth. The airport says that the new airside will work towards its goal of serving up to 35 million annual passengers by 2037.
It will have a Customs and Border Protection international arrivals processing facility, a testament to the airport’s expectation of additional growth on that front. It will inevitably also have new shops and dining areas, the TPA says. It adds that the new facility will be “state-of-the-art”.
