American Airlines signs DFW Airport lease deal that includes money for a new, 6th terminal

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is one step closer to having a long-planned new terminal. Officials from the airport and American Airlines — DFW’s main tenant — said Tuesday they have signed a new lease agreement. The deal includes $1.6 billion to build a new, sixth terminal, plus money to renovate one of the current terminals and add more gates. The work is designed to prepare the airport and Fort Worth-based American for expected growth in air travel. DFW is the second-busiest airport in the world, behind only Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
