Billions pledged to upgrade Tampa International Airport

A business plan presented to the public on Monday shows $4.2 billion of improvements for TIA through 2033. The business plan includes $2.5 billion in improvements, and $1.6 billion for maintenance items. This plan anticipates traffic increasing from the current level of 17 million to 34 million by 2041. Under this plan, the main terminal will now be able to handle this traffic negating the need to build a new $1 billion North Terminal to handle this volume.
