As TPA nears completion of the future Airside D’s design phase, the Airport wants to hear directly from Tampa Bay travelers about what they want to see in the future Airside.
To make that possible, Tampa International Airport is hosting three public listening sessions during the month of July, with events planned for Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties.
The sessions will allow the community to share their thoughts on what they would prefer to see during their travel experience at Airside D, TPA’s first new Airside in nearly 20 years. The state-of-the-art, 16-gate Airside broke ground in December 2024 and will be home to both international and domestic flights when it opens to the public in late 2028.
The second of these sessions will be held on Thursday, July 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. at EpiCenter at St. Petersburg College, 13805 58th St. N., in Clearwater.
Attendees will see the most up-to-date information available on Airside D, including the latest renderings and construction schedule. After a presentation, attendees will participate in small group discussions to share their perspectives about the important issues that make traveling and the airport experience satisfying, safe and efficient.
Information from these sessions will be presented to the design-build team for consideration as they prepare the building’s final design. Complete plans are expected by the end of this year.
Airside D has a preliminary cost of $1.5 billion and is scheduled to open to the public in late 2028. It will help TPA, which currently serves an estimated 25 million passengers annually, accommodate the region’s growth and serve up to 35 million annual passengers by 2037.
