DFW Airport begins renovations at Terminal C
DFW International Airport kicks off the busy Labor Day weekend with a celebration to mark the start of a project to completely remodel Terminal C.
DALLAS – DFW Airport is set for its busiest Labor Day weekend ever as it begins a multi-year construction project to renovate Terminal C.
Around 1.4 million travellers are expected to pass through the major airport between Thursday and Tuesday over the holiday weekend.
The vast majority of them will use Terminal C, the airport’s busiest and most outdated terminal.
But in the next few months, construction work in Terminal C will be intensified.
The airport administration said it would spend three billion dollars to gut and modernize the facilities.
“Over the next two to three years, DFW Airport will serve 100 million passengers annually. That’s unprecedented growth that we simply must prepare for now. And we’re making the necessary investments today to ensure our facilities are ready for the future,” said Sean Donohue, CEO of DFW Airport.
The renovation is part of a larger $9 billion investment plan.
The remaining money will go towards rebuilding some parking garages, improving roads and improving the overall customer experience.
Officials said the airport would continue to provide information about how the construction work would impact travelers.
“Our team is committed to minimizing disruptions as much as possible, keeping our customers informed and maintaining the Texas hospitality we are known for,” Donohue said.
The airport has launched a new tool on its website and updated its mobile app to provide real-time updates to its customers.
