Journey with us as this vision takes shape. This next chapter in TPA's story is scheduled to open in 2028!

TPA Master Plan
The Airside D project is part of the Airport’s Capital Program and is the third and final phase of TPA’s Master Plan.
The Master Plan is an FAA-required blueprint for development aimed at decongesting airport facilities and enabling future growth. Phases 1 and 2 included several major projects including the Main Terminal redevelopment, the Rental Car Center, SkyConnect Automated People Mover, a roadway expansion, Central Utility Plant, the award-winning Blue Express Curbsides for faster passenger pick-up and drop-off, and the new SkyCenter One office building.
