The completion of the project coincides with the opening of a 1,800-space parking garage, which features the airport’s Parking Guidance System technology.

Under the project, DFW Airport has opened Southwest News, a new pre-security concession near baggage claims at E13 and E14.
The upgraded gates feature seating and charging tables for travellers, who are also provided with a wider range of food, beverages, services and retail at the new terminal.
Slated to begin in May, phase four of the Terminal E project includes the redevelopment of gates E2 through E10, building an additional section of terminal parking, and introducing more concessions.
Naja added: "With the completion of TRIP, DFW Airport customers will enjoy some of the most convenient, enhanced airport terminals in the world."
The final phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
DFW Airport will also welcome a new freighter service from Toronto to Mexico City via the airport.
The new route is a collaboration between Air Canada Cargo and Cargojet Airways.
