Of the grants, a sum of $20m will be used to construct and expand the aircraft apron, south of Terminal D.

Around $9m will be used for an ongoing project to rehabilitate one of the airport's arrival runways, 18R/36L.

DFW Airport will utilise nearly $8m of the grant to improve its Taxiway Y, enabling larger aircraft to cross between the west side of the airfield and the east.

"Grants such as these from the FAA are critical for keeping our airport operating at a level of excellence for our customers and airline partners."

It will also use $3m to equip Terminal B with environmentally friendly, pre-conditioned air units for cooling jet boarding bridges.
