Over the next two decades, Tampa International Airport will gain an average of 880,000 new passengers each year. That would take the hub from 21.2 million passengers this year to 38.8 million in 2042 — a 20-year increase of 83%.
And the airport is once again thinking about where to put them.
Those updated passenger projections, approved last week by the Federal Aviation Authority, will shape updates to the airport’s long-range master plan, including a new airside terminal and potentially a new runway.
