Last year, Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW) had its biggest year ever, in part thanks to the 5.5 million international passengers that came through its new Terminal D. Now, DFW is hoping for more — after all, Terminal D can handle 12.8 million a year; and in recognition of all this international traffic, the airport has been named one of 20 “Model Ports” by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.

The Model Ports initiative is part of The Rice-Chertoff Initiative ( 2006) which is supposed to facilitate travel and streamline the security process and customs; the airports selected for this program have high numbers of international travelers. And DFW is expecting more, thanks to the Open Skies initiative — for example, KLM now offers a non-stop from Dallas to Amsterdam.
Meanwhile, travelers through Terminal D should keep a look-out for new signs and monitors and video (in 4 languages) that’ll welcome our international visitors and help them navigate the sometimes tricky customs process.
