Location

Tampa, United States

Tampa International Airport (TPA) is the primary commercial airport serving the Tampa Bay area in west-central Florida. It handles tens of millions of passengers annually and serves as a major hub for both domestic and international travel to the Gulf Coast region. The airport is owned and operated by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority and is consistently ranked among the top airports in North America for customer satisfaction. Its innovative landside-airside design, introduced when the current facility opened in 1971, became a model studied by airport planners worldwide. TPA underwent a major expansion program in recent years, including a new rental car center, a people mover extension, and added gate capacity to accommodate growing passenger demand across its airside concourses.

Terminals

The airport features one main landside terminal connected by automated people movers to four airside concourses (A, C, E, and F), each serving different airlines and aircraft gates.

Getting to & from

Ground transportation options include the Hartline bus service, taxis, rideshare services, and rental cars via the on-site SkyConnect people mover to the consolidated rental car facility; a planned commuter rail connection has been discussed but not yet implemented.

Airlines here

Southwest Airlines is the largest carrier at TPA, with significant operations also by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Frontier, Spirit, and several international carriers.
