The new concourse and additional gates are part of the its multi-year terminal renewal and improvement programme (TRIP), a $2.3bn capital improvement programme to redefine the airport’s four original terminals, which were first opened in 1974.
DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue said: "These new gates give DFW Airport additional capacity for hosting flights in Terminal B, as well as a beautiful new space for customers to enjoy as they await their flights.
"We’ve also added a comfort zone seating area, charging stations and our fast and free WiFi."
The new concourse was built by replacing one gate at Terminal B, resulting in an overall gain of nine gates at DFW. It offers customers 20,000ft² extra gate space and its entrance is adjacent to a Skylink people mover station, which will facilitate fast and efficient connections to any gate at DFW.
