New Renderings Released for Tampa International’s Airside D

Tampa International Airport is offering travelers an exciting glimpse into the future with stunning new artist renderings of Airside D, the first new Airside in almost 20 years!

These vibrant renderings showcase the dynamic design of the 16-gate Airside, which will cater to both international and domestic flights. Created by the talented teams at Hensel Phelps, HNTB, and Gensler, the images reveal the Airside’s sleek interior and exterior, promising a world-class experience for travelers.

The exterior renderings emphasize Airside D’s prime location northwest of TPA’s Main Terminal, drenched in natural light and offering breathtaking views of the bay. Inside, travelers will be captivated by the soaring ceilings, bright, open spaces, and an International Arrivals corridor that elegantly wraps around the building, creating a seamless flow.

While these designs are still in the early stages, airport officials note that some adjustments may occur as the project progresses, ensuring the final product exceeds expectations.

With an estimated cost of $1.5 billion and a grand opening targeted for 2028, Airside D is poised to be a game-changer for Tampa International Airport, which currently serves about 25 million passengers annually. By 2037, this new addition will enable the airport to accommodate up to 35 million passengers.

Here’s what Airside D will feature:

• Two levels plus a mezzanine with two airline lounges offering panoramic views of the airfield and bay.
• A first-floor International Passenger Arrival Processing Area.
• A central hub with shopping and dining options providing 360-degree views of the gates.
