Expand apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), administering funds under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport a Project Grant of $53.3 million on August 22, 2025, to expand Terminal F's apron infrastructure. The project will add 48,500 square yards of apron pavement to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. With an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2029, this four-year initiative represents a critical infrastructure modernization effort that will enhance airport operational capacity and safety for the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

This apron expansion project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. The apron expansion constitutes essential airfield pavement work eligible under the Airport Improvement Program, which funds the development and modernization of public-use airport infrastructure nationwide. Upon completion, the expanded apron will improve aircraft parking, ground handling operations, and overall airfield efficiency at one of the nation's major transportation hubs.
