Tampa International releases new renderings for Airside D

The project is estimated to cost $1.5 billion.

The International Arrivals exit from U.S. Customs, with escalators up to the Airside D Shuttle Station is framed by massive floor-to-ceiling windows and foliage.

International visitors will be greeted with Tampa’s waterfront views.

Wondering what Tampa International’s new Airside D will look like? Us too.

The airport just released new renderings for the $1.5 billion project, which is projected to open in 2028. The design — from the Hensel Phelps, HNTB, and Gensler team — features towering ceilings, a massive light screen showing sea life, floor-to-ceiling windows, and plenty of tropical foliage.

The 16-gate complex will also boast shops and eateries with views of the gates and two airport lounges. The new Airside will host both international and domestic flights.

The new addition will bump up Tampa International’s capacity from 25 million passengers annually to 35 million annual passengers by 2037. Stay tuned: The design process is only 15% complete, so we’ll have plenty more updates before Airside D opens.
