New curbside express entrance opens at TPA

Tampa International Airport celebrated the grand opening of its new Red Express Curbsides building on Monday, an innovative new entrance for passengers hoping to skip the crowds.

The Red Express Curbsides building mirrors the award-winning Blue Express Curbsides, which opened to the public in November 2021 as a way to ease traffic congestion and speed up the boarding process for passengers with electronic tickets and no checked bags. 

The $109 million project includes four additional arrivals lanes and four additional departures lanes inside a new express curbside building.
