DFW Unveils 10 New Gates, Concourse Expansion

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) - Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has unveiled 10 new gates as part of a concourse extension at Terminal B.

DFW officials on Thursday announced the new gates, B30-B39, will be used to serve American Eagle regional jet flights.

The upgrades are part of the airport's $2.3 billion capital improvement program to redefine the four original terminals that opened in 1974. With the addition of 10 gates, DFW has a total of 164 gates across its five terminals.

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is the world's third busiest, with about 1,850 flights daily and serving 60 million customers annually.
