After years of planning, Tampa International Airport has begun a massive $1.5 billion expansion project. The 600,015-square-foot Airside D terminal will have 16 gates and is expected to open in 2028. It will be the first new airside at TPA in 20 years and will serve as an international terminal. MORE
