A park like retreat away from the airport hustle.

American Airlines' redesigned High C Gates at DFW Airport set new trends in airport design. During the pandemic, with air travel severely curtailed, DFW decided the time was ripe to update C33-C39 gates. The resulting design set the precedent for future projects at the airport.

The shell structure — accelerated by offsite prefabricated modules — is the first of its kind in airport construction.
